Curses Produce Rotten Fruit

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

                                                                                     (James 3:20-13 KJV)

What kind of fruit do you bear? If our hearts are full of anger and bitterness, our lips will provide anger and bitterness to the people around us. Our own lives will bear rotten fruit. We will know no peace.

If we curse those who love us then we will find ourselves living within the very evil that we have wished upon others. But, if we bless others, we will find ourselves among the blessed. If we want to live in peace then it is wisdom to allow others to live in peace. Do not curse; but bless them. Be very careful about what flows from your mouth because it does affect you.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (Luke 6:31)
