Careless Words

Matthew 12:36&37 "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

"For it is not upon what someone else has spoken of you but from what you have yourself spoken. From this will the Judge give his sentence. This the fairest of all procedures. It rests wholly with you to speak or not to speak. So it is not those who are slandered but the slanderers who have cause to tremble and be anxious" St. John Chrysostom

An ever reminder to keep my words wholesome, without judgement or prejudice.
