Precious, Not Worthless

"If you utter what is precious, not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth."
Jeremiah 15:19 (ESV)
I can think of so many times of the words uttered from my mouth, being foul and disrespectful towards others. Feeling strangely convicted tonight. A sense of awakening to this realisation that at times my words may not be gracious, encouraging or loving. Well, even the words "may not be" doesn't do it, it should be "have not been". Thinking out loud here...

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
