Matthew 12:35 - The good person from their good treasure brings forth good and the evil person from their evil treasure brings forth evil.
We all misspeak. Yet how many of us then go back and think about what our words say to us? I do not do it often enough. Yet, this saying gives us all a clue to our hearts. When we are caught saying something sexist, racist, ageist, or otherwise hurtful, we often apologize, often double down. Do I then go back to see why I chose that word? What is lurking in the depths? So many cannot go there and yet it is essential to knowing ourselves as human beings.
Today I choose to examine what my words say about me as a person and a person of God.
