35The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

read this verse from the 40days lovesingapore prayer journal yest...was deeply striked by what i gained from the entry...the importance of your spoken words, words which can actually bring abt undesirable effects...

sometimes you may be joking and careless words are spoken, but the hurt and damage could be done..it brought into mind the recent string of events which happened...is God telling me that its due to a careless use of words??

i'm reflecting upon that and i do admit it could be although the words could be spoken out of carelessness or with little thoughts of the repercussions...

and it brought me into aware of the seriousness and importance of speaking the truth, speaking words which can edify at all times...

Lord, remind me constantly of the words i speak...for by our speech we can turn harmony to chaos...with the same tongue, i do not allow undesirable words out of it but to allow blessings to flow out from it...
