The Power of the Tongue

This one hit home only a moment ago:

Matt. 5:37-"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."

The words we speak not only hold power, but plant a seed in our lives. We can turn one thought into an extreme of different interpretations based on one word alone. Think about it: I can tell u I like something, and u may think I am trying to throw off a hint, clue, or u may over-analyze it to have a meaning that is totally different from my thought process initially. This is why it is important to speak the word only, be clear and concise in your communication, and don't beat around the bush. Otherwise, there is room for not just miscommunication, but an implant of a weed in your harvest of positivity.
