Forgiveness

"Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath."
Proverbs 21:23-24

Do you rehash things in your mind, dwelling on what you'd like to say to someone?
**What is in your heart will come out.**

I have been thinking of someone... who did something, or rather forgot to do something.   And probably doesn't realize it and/or has forgotten.  So I need to just get on with life and forgive them because it is kind of petty anyway when you consider it.
Seems like the past couple of weeks I just keep seeing verses in Proverbs that are telling me to forgive... and lots of verses about the tongue!
So I need to quit dwelling on it before I say something I will regret.

"Only by pride cometh contention..."  Prov. 13:10
"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride..."  Prov. 14:3
"In the multitude of words there wanted not sin, but he that refraineth his lips is wise." Prov 10:19

"He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him."
Proverbs 18:13  (Just thought I'd tack that on.)   =)
