1 John 3:18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
Dear friend,
Our tongues tend to get us in trouble at times, don't they? In the third chapter of James it mentions that the tongue can be like the small spark that starts a forest ablaze. No man can tame it. Let us pray to God for the power of the Holy Spirit to continually enable us to speak with a tongue that brings healing and is a tree of life and not a deceitful tongue that crushes the spirit (Proverbs 15:4).
One way to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger (James 1:19) is to practice true love in action. As it is said, "actions speak louder than words" so let our love speak louder in action. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in the presence of our God (verse 19).
In the name of the only true love in action, Jesus Christ,
Mike
