running your mouth

“you better watch your mouth!”
“choose your words carefully.”
“whatchutalkinboutwillis?”
“out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”*

we speak from the overflow of our heart
whatever we are full of will eventually spill out into our speech

what do we talk about
sports
pop culture
God things
movies
music
business
The Kingdom

what language do we speak
negativity
gossip
coarse joking
joy
bitterness
resentment
faith
love

our speech betrays us
our heart will always find a voice
this is why we must hide His word in our hearts

we are to be so full of Him
His words
and His ways
that we cannot help but talk like He talks
fullness brings about overflow
and overflow brings about
rivers of living water flowing out of us

now that’s what i call running your mouth

*[Luke 6:45]
