Ill-chosen Words
Don’t mix bad words with your bad mood. You’ll have many opportunities to change a mood, but you’ll never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke. (Source unknown)
Can you remember a time when you let your emotions show in a really poor choice of words? Even among close friends, the thoughtless use of poorly chosen words can have a long-lasting effect. Trying to correct those misspoken words later may not meet with acceptance. Choose your words carefully and be silent when you can’t control your emotions.
The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words. . . The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking. (Proverbs 10:32; 15:28)
