The words I would say

This is a great song also but it made me think about the words I would say to Jesus! The cheesy saying don't say anything unless you have something nice to say. Well would you say it to Jesus if He was standing right there looking you in the face? Now lots of people would be like well none of us are perfect and Jesus isn't here so why would we act like we are talking to Him? He forgives, right? Well knowing how Jesus is and that He died for us, Would you or would you Not say it to Him? If the answer is no then we shouldn't say it. There are so many things Jesus wouldn't want us to say that we do. We are sinful people and don't always have perfect thoughts but how would Jesus feel about us saying it? The point of Christianity is to worship God and become like the thing we are worshipping. We follow a perfect leader and Jesus always knew what to say. He just knew it. We are trying to be like Jesus not the world. Words can impact people so much. They can cause sin, hurt, love, hate, scare, and many other things! 
From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:20, 21 NIV). 
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4:29 NIV). 
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. (Matthew 15:18 NIV). 
The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. (Proverbs 12:18, 19 NIV). 
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. (Proverbs 15:1, 2 NIV). 
The words we say should be love and God alone. Nothing we say should be able to be turned against us. God will give us the words! We think Jesus is great and everyone is made in His image so we should speak lovingly to them also!
