Hope for the Double-Tongued

James 3:10 My brother out of the same mouth pour blessing and cursing. This should not be so. 

Choke choke. This is recently how I felt after being convicted of my sarcastic, mean tongue. On one side of my mouth I praise the God who is my life and on the other I curse the people He created. On one side of my mouth I praise His precious name and on the other I take it in vain. On one side of my mouth I talk of His wondrous grace and on the other I talk about that rotten unsaved mom down the road who does not raise her kids right. On one side of my mouth I talk about His amazing love and on the other side I scream and curse at the spouse He has called me to love sacrificially. I am double tongued and God has called me out. Thank God for grace that forgives and changes me. Thank God for a perfect life in Jesus who died and conquered my sin on an old rugged cross. Thank God that He is still in the business of revealing and redeeming sinful lives.
If I was guessing I would venture to say  I am not alone. Within the realm of this blog there are people who also have double tongues...think about it. Search your own heart.
Do you use God's name in vain through the week and then praise Him on Sunday?
Do you talk of His grace and forgiveness and then refuse to forgive your spouse?
Do you profess to trust Him and then throw a fit when you do not get what you pray for?
Do you profess your trust in God's provision and then do not pay your tithes?
I am guilty....I am forgiven...I am free of condemnation...I am being changed by a changeless God.  Quit being afraid you double tongued vipers! Just cry out to Jesus and let him make your talk match your walk. Praise God for living hope.
Loving you and praying freedom in Christ for you.
