Real self # 2

The distance between our heads and our hearts is 18 inches. Our head has that powerful thing: voice, speech, and tongue. James 3:5, and 8 ‘Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. Who can tame it?
How many times in these days of stress and uncertainty have I spoken first before my heart was engaged? Wrong order. Out of stock. Slow delivery. That service provider is probably working with their own stress issues.
These are days for a kind word. ‘Thanks for helping.’ ‘Be safe.’ ‘We’ll get through this.’ The tongue is a powerful thing. The heart more powerful than the tongue. Kindness changes the tone, conveys compassion. Appreciation. It’s a heart thing.
