Inspiring Change Every Day with Grace
Little but Mighty
Words are powerful. They can mend a heart or break it in a second. They can build bridges or burn them to ashes. Yet, many of us speak without thought, spilling emotions raw and unfiltered, only to regret later.
Have you noticed how easy it is to say things when you’re angry, only to wish you could take them back moments later? That’s because in those moments, you’re not in charge, your tongue is.
The control of speech is about wisdom. It’s about knowing when to speak, how to speak, and what not to say at all. Perhaps you haven’t heard this before, words do not only impact those who hear them but also affect our own mental state.
Negative speech fuels stress and bitterness, while uplifting speech rewires the brain towards gratitude and hope. Science confirms what scriptures already taught: life and death truly lie in the power of the tongue.
Imagine if you measured your words the way you measure money, carefully choosing where to invest them. That small pause could save you from a storm. It could prevent regret and create room for healing instead.
Control is strength in restraint. It’s realising that the momentary satisfaction of lashing out is not worth the scars it leaves behind. Think about the times your words encouraged someone.
A sentence as simple as “I believe in you” may have kept them from giving up. Or that one compliment that made them stand taller. That’s the power you carry every single day. When you control your tongue, you shape atmospheres. You plant seeds of peace and hope that can grow for years.
But the reverse is also true. If your tongue controls you, it will lead you into quarrels, misunderstandings, and broken trust. People may forgive, but words are hard to erase from memory. Like a tattoo on the heart, they remain. That’s why choosing restraint is wisdom. It shows maturity, discipline, and true self-mastery.
The control of speech is about protecting yourself. Because when your tongue is reckless, you give away power. But when you tame it, you hold influence, dignity, and peace.
When was the last time your words built someone up instead of tearing them down? Share your response anonymously through this link https://gdpd.xyz/dailygrace
