Proverbs 15:1
“A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.”
James 3:6
“And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.”
Galatians 5:22-25
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Boy, James didn't pull any punches, did he?
Thank you for sharing those passages together. I need to remember those words, too.
I love this one too: "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness" - Prov. 31:26.
Thank you again for putting these verses together...a good reminder to all of us as moms.
I am so "with you" on this! I long for it to become like "second nature", but still struggling for it to just be 3rd or 4th nature!! Come to think of it, I'd rather it become FIRST nature!
