My dog's tongue is great for lapping up food and water, or lavishing love on my face. Mine, on the other hand, can be used to say hurtful things to people who have hurt me. But this does not solve anything and often makes things worse. Getting hold of one's tongue can stop the chain of unkindness. Turning everything over to God is the solution. If He does invite me to speak, I can be assured it will be said with kindness.
