That sounded okay, the student agreed to do that. Then the teacher gave the next instruction: "Now put all the toothpaste back in the tube!" "That's not possible!"the student incredulously replied. "You're right," said the teacher. "And that is true of our words also. Once we speak them we cannot take them back.' When I have caught myself saying something unkind that later caused regret, I have said a prayer asking God to show me the reason behind my saying those words. He can help us understand the heart of what's bothering us and then change is possible. Remember, words can injure or they can encourage.
