Proverbs 18:21: 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.'
Words aren't neutral. They build, they tear down, they bless, they curse. Same mouth, different mornings.
Notice the second half: those who love it will eat its fruit. The words you speak end up feeding the world you live in — including yourself.
That applies in two directions. The way you talk to others becomes the relationships you have. The way you talk to yourself becomes the inner life you carry around.
Watch your mouth. It's more powerful than you think.
