“But no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?” (the Bible, James 3:8-11, NLT) 

You have been created in the image of God. Fashioned for His glory so that your life makes a difference in the Earth…how? By you speaking like God speaks.

No matter your work, family situation, the way others see you…you are created in the image of the living God. Your life is a testimony of His grace and His love.

Today, I challenge you…speak as God speaks. Refuse to participate in slander or bad-mouthing. May criticism not be found in your mouth. May the door of your heart be locked to it. Bad-mouthing is “persona non grata” (AKA not welcome) in you.

You are set apart…for God. Your mouth is set apart for Him. He is so marvelous…praise Him, worship and adore Him, love Him by loving others, by blessing them and using your mouth as an instrument of powerful encouragement!

      Dear Kimberly,
      Just read your message and thought why not pray for you through writing here.

      God our Father, I thank you for Kimberly’s life, I thank you for the good work that you have begun in her and you are committed to her in transforming her in likeness of your son Jesus Christ. Lord renew our hearts and mouths, we give them to you. Lord we want to be quick to hear, and slow to speak. Help us Lord, and by your help we will get better and better each day. Thank you Lord that you teach us and change us when we are willing. We welcome you in our thoughts and words. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

    Thanks so much Eric, for this message. I am working on my speech and this reminder helps me. I give my mouth and words to speak like God, with love, truth and holiness.

    God my Father help me love people through my words and speak loving words for myself too because we are made in your image. God help me to be careful about the words that I speak. In Jesus’ name I ask. Amen.
