James 1:19
...Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry...
The slow to speak is where I struggle. A lot. My tongue so often gets the better of me and I say something that I didn't want to say, whether it's a too sarcastic comment or something that embarrasses someone. I'm always getting myself into trouble. Sometimes I wish I couldn't talk at all.
I'm trying to find the balance between conviction and guilt. It's hard for me to find.
I want so badly to be a light and to exude Jesus' love, but I mess it up constantly.
I take comfort in this though: "Hope means holding onto You. Grace means You're holding me too." -JJ Heller
