Our words play a major role in shaping what others think about us. They are like a nametag we wear, identifying ourselves as Liar, Gossip, or Profaner. You may think this is not fair, but what else do they have to go by? Others cannot know your thoughts or intentions—only what they see and hear. Stop and think about the things you say from time to time. Do they reflect what you think is really in your heart? Do they announce what you want people to think of you? Do they represent your Savior well?
