Good Morning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us]. So get rid of all uncleanness and all that remains of wickedness, and with a humble spirit receive the word [of God] which is implanted [actually rooted in your heart], which is able to save your souls. -James 1:19-21 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much thought do we put into the words that make it out of our mouth? Are we quick to say something or quick to hear? Are we slow to listen or slow to speak? What are we doing to get rid of the uncleanness in us and being what God designed us to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBe slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, and wishes of those who do speak. Thus you will better know when to speak and when to be silent.\u201d -Saint Ignatius<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThink twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.\u201d -Napoleon Hill <\/p>\n\n\n\n
