We cannot withdraw those words.[James 1 v19]

Recently our Prime Minister was caught out by what he said,he did not realise that what he was saying was being recorded.Ex President Nixon was
caught out by what he said,though he did try to tamper with what had been recorded. After a recent football match a player said,about one of his team mates,'he likes to cheat a lot',later he apologised for the confusion that his comments had caused,he indicated that he wanted to withdraw what he had said.All those mentioned would so like to withdraw what they said,but what is said is said. The poet  wrote.
                            The moving finger writes
                             and having written moves on.
                             Piety nor wit,shall lure it back,
                             to cancel half a line.
Be it the written word or the spoken word the same principal applies, they cannot be taken back.So today let us all be careful as to what we say,
remember they cannot be taken back.I have lost friends by what I have said,
friends I love,words that hurt do not disappear,they  cannot be erased.
                                     A prayer.
Dear God cause us to watch our words,put a guard on our lips,help us to speak aright,help us to not always speak what we feel ,in Jesus name Amen
