the mouth - the outcome

Reading Proverbs recently, it came to my attention that the mouth plays a HUGE part in our anatomy. Think about it...

What do we put inside it? Whatever gets "near" the mouth invariably gets eaten, moulding our body.

What comes out of it? Whatever comes out invariably highlights the "seat of intentions" - the heart. The Seat of Intentions (our heart) simply proves our motivation, what drives us, our values etc.

If our heart is rotten, then what we have to say will not be clean; if our heart is pure, we'll say things that edify and build-up...

It's all about the mouth. It's the outcome, or business end of things.

If it matters to us, we must control what enters the mouth, and what leaves the mouth. This takes enormous discipline and years of practise.
