Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Pro 12:18)
I am too fond of sarcastic humor. My words are full of cutting remarks meant for a laugh. Of course, I am “just saying it to be funny,” but there is often a grain of truth in it which is able to wound my target. Sometimes my remarks are very clever and funny, and sometimes they are just artless insults. Most of the time everyone laughs, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok. Lord, forgive me for this peculiar form of pride and selfishness. I want my speech to always be wholesome and wise. Help me to control my tongue and be a blessing to those around me.
