Grace for your spirit. March 6, 2012

Grace for your spirit
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:36-37

I saw a movie once entitled, "What the deaf man heard". A boy grew up in a community where no one knew him. He pretended he could not hear or speak to protect himself as a boy. With the assumption that he was a deaf mute, he was privy to the conversations of everyone in the town, no matter now rotten they were. One day, he spoke and they all realized they were in deep trouble. We need to be careful about the things we say. God hears and so do others of which we may not be aware. Our words most certainly reveal to everyone, what is in our hearts. We can declare ourselves justified or condemned by the words coming out of our mouths. How will we do in the court of public opinion, and ultimately before the judgment seat of Christ? Let's clean up our hearts and our mouths, so we have to worry about who's listening today
