Our tongue is a "wild little beast" because when it gets out of control, it can cause much damage to our relationships. At times hurtful, abusive degrading, or even hateful words are said to the people we love the most. And then loving, kind beneficial words can come out of that same mouth. It's as though we have two mouths. A mean one and a nice one! Since words matter and make a difference in either building or tearing down a relationship, it's important we are intentional about how we treat others with our words. This is not about perfection but about progression in communication skills.
