Matthew 12:36

Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. This was so powerful to me yesterday when I posted my comment to my previous post. My previous post was just about change and having a right relationship with God. That is just so important to me. I am a living testimony so I can speak about what God has changed in my life. Cussing is something that I really need to work on. God, is taking it away slowly but it still lingers. This passage makes me think of the times that I have cussed at my children when it wasn't really necessary. Or, when I thought that it was but, could of chose a different way to say it. I can go all day at work and not cuss because I've been trained to be a professional. But, why is it so hard for me to watch what I say when I am not at work? I cuss at home, in regular conversation, and sometimes in church. I'm kinda starting to feel real bad as I write this. As a teacher and a leader. I need to lead by example. People are watching you even if you don't know it. I'm a small groups leader at church and would never want any of my students to cuss sometimes the way I do. I would look at them like OMG. But, it's something that I do. If they heard me they would look at me like OMG. What a hypocrite that makes me. I don't want to be that. Lord, I pray that you make me the same way I want my students to be. I want to be a Leader and a Teacher that lives by the word completely and sets the right example. Lord, take this habit of satan away from me so, that I can speak righteousness unto myself and well as others. Forgive me for this for I do want to change. Amen.
