This journey of surrendering my speech comes with a price. What I want vs. what God wants.
What I really "feel" like saying sometimes burns within me. However, as I begin to evaluate my motive for what I want to say - I realize that it comes with a desire to either be heard or be right. Neither of these are necessarily wrong, however my problem is that I want it too much. I notice that as I pray for direction (on whether or not to speak); the desire quickly dies. So...I end up not saying what I originally wanted to afterall.
Hmmm? From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...my heart/mouth has a continual "God at Work" sign on it.
Today, I'm thankful that God loves me that much.
