Matthew 12:34-35
For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. The 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.

Aaaaah! THAT’S why what we say is so important! It’s only REVEALING what’s in our hearts. If the bad thoughts and attitudes are in there, try as we can to hide them, they WILL come out. If our hearts are full of good, our mouths will bring glory to God and a blessing to the people around us. Jesus goes on to say, in the next couple of verses, that “men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Pretty good incentive. 🙂
