A Sign of Maturity
Control of the tongue should be our goal. It is a sign of maturity. It is one way we glorify God.
For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.
--- James 3:2
My own reflection on this Thought:
* When we're angry, we become more impatient, and that's when the biggest test of the tongue, can we control our tongue in time like this?
Can we still pick the right words and not burst in anger?
In a movie called Anger Management, there are some ways to handle our anger. But for us, becoming a Christian, we know that the Holy Spirit is leading us with a spirit of peace -- not anger. So, we could ask God's guidance to fill us with the Holy Spirit, so that we could control our emotion better and control our tongue better.
