Sharp Edges - #5963
Gentle treatment of people - especially when we're feeling tired, or tense, or frustrated - doesn't necessarily come naturally. God describes it as a "fruit of the Spirit." It's a characteristic Jesus has that He can produce in you through His Holy Spirit who lives in you. But you have to reach the point where, first of all, you're willing to see those sharp edges that you have and repent of them as part of the sinful old you that's all dark and ugly.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"--a familiar saying, but one at odds with the Bible's teachings about the power of the tongue, both to heal and to hurt. This passage uses some interesting metaphors to describe the destructive power of an untamed tongue.
