THE TONGUE

(Psalm 141.3)

The tongue is a part of the body which can do great good or great evil; the tongue is very small but very powerful. A person’s words are like a match which sets something alight; much firewood can be consumed by a small fire. Words fall from the mouth but they fall for many days. The words of a good person are like seeds which bear fruit even after the death of the speaker.
