What others say to us and what we say to others can last a long time, for good or for evil. The casual sarcastic or critical remark can inflict a lasting injury on another person. The well-timed encouragement or compliment can inspire someone for the rest of their life.
~ David Guzik
This is terrifying.
And true.
And we don't know which of our words will be quickly forgotten, and which will have a lasting effect.
Lord, set up a guard for my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
