“but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”
James 3:8-10 KJV
Yet no one can tame a tongue; no one can restrain the evil in its fatal venom. We can say beautiful things about God the Father but with the same mouth curse a fellow human made in His mirror likeness. My friends, a blessing and a curse cannot originate from the same source. The law of works operated by willpower cannot match the effect of the law of perfect liberty! Mirror likeness ignites true freedom to utter that which is precious! The point is not what the person did to deserve the insult, but that people are image and likeness bearers of God by design! True worship is to touch someone’s life with the same devotion and care you would touch Jesus Himself, even if the other person seems a most unlikely candidate. Discovering our true source brings true freedom. Amen!
