#414 Sunday, Aug. 30/15, 11:15pm, at home (New language)
We do not always watch the words we use.
Do we speak to give a kind word, a word of correction, a word of objection, a word that is uncomplimentary?
How often when you go to speak do we ask the Lord to guard our tongues?
It is so important that we use our words wisely.
Have you noticed when pride sneaks in we sometimes want to talk more about ourselves, than to listen to the other?
Why do we feel we have to tell all? Are we in a competition? Do we feel he who has the last story wins?
But I ask you to talk less. You know what I mean. You all should know what I mean.
Say less mean words.
Say less uncomplimentary words.
Say nothing and just let the world be ok around you.
Why the needless chatter? Because usually when we get caught in needless chatter we get led into sin.
Just be aware I ask you.
Needless chatter may cause you to say something foolish or mean about another that you tell yourself is just said in jest.
When I ask you not to say something or make a comment that is not really necessary, I am not trying to keep you from sin necessarily but rather I want you to realize that it is important to listen to Me guarding and guiding you, rather than you talking.
It is a case of obedience, yes.
It is also a case of humility.
You are humble enough to realize that what you were about to say would not enlighten the World.
The more you hold your tongue, the more time you have to be silent with Me.
The more you are obedient when I suggest --- “you don’t have to mention that”, or “you don’t have to tell someone about someone else.”
It does work and you know it Margo, and all those of you who read this.
We sometimes are not obedient to Me when I ask you to cleave your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
Not that what you are about to say is a sin --- no, no, no. But might it lead to sin, and yes possibly.
You have asked Me to lead you, so I want to lead you farther away from the unnecessary and closer to the Necessary.
Why do you think I have asked you to be silent and not to say such and such?
Because I know that it is not necessary if you are trying with Me to build-up the World.
There is so much that can be left unsaid and I encourage you to seek Me and ask Me to help you with this.
Do not even look on it as a punishment but rather a refining of your language skills.
It is like learning a new language!
Only this language wants you to use less words, and still speak with kindness and consideration.
