Poor words and bad timing
How many times have you said just the "wrong" thing?
Jesus words on this topic are indeed convicting :
"Out of the abundance of the heart does the mouth speak."
In other words, poor words and bad timing in our speech are more issues of our heart than issues of social skills and decorum.
Let us ask God to purify, mend, and re-focus our heart on his will and passions.
Proverbs 10:32
The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.
