James 3:5 -- So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
Oh, the destruction we unleash when we fail to be slow to anger and slow to speak. Once we let those words out, there is no putting them back. No amount of "I'm sorry" or "I didn't mean that" can fully extinguish the spark a single word unleashes. Choose to be quicker to listen and filter your words and responses through Jesus. I know I have to.
