Scriptures referenced: All NKJV
Matthew 12:36-37 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
James 3:8-10 "But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the [f]similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so."
Proverbs 18:21-Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit."
Susan's Poem:
Stop look and listen,
before you interact.
The words you speak,
the things you say,
can have a big impact.
Ask the Lord 
for help and promises
and He will intercede.
His words affirm
his words confirm,
that you will succeed.
