"With the tongue we praise our

Lord and Father, and with it we

curse human beings, who have

been made in God's likeness. Out

of the same mouth come praise

and cursing. My brothers and

sisters, this should not be."

(James 3:9–10 NIV)

There's a lady called Janice who

has had a huge impact on me in a

way she has probably never

realized. I never heard her utter a

bad word about someone. I've

never heard gossip or cruelty

cross her lips. In fact, when

others spoke ungenerously about

a person, Janice would still be

able to turn the conversation in a

way that highlighted the value,

strengths or a positive aspect of

their character. She has always

been able to speak hope and

positivity in a way that refreshes

anyone with whom she speaks.

Janice models generous speech.

I remember asking her if this was

something that came naturally. I

was surprised by her response.

She told me 'no'. It had been an

active choice which had grown

more natural over years of

practice. One day she had made a

decision to try and only speak

generously at all times. As well as

the words coming more naturally

and authentically with prolonged

use, her life shines the same

generosity towards others that

her words model.

James 3 talks about taming your

tongue. I've just written a

children's adventure novel that

weaves the wisdom of James into

a fantasy story. In it, the main

characters meet a dragon (spoiler

alert!) whose tongue burns,

setting her words on fire.

In the story, it takes the help of

others to tame her tongue. Who

can help us to retrain ourselves

towards generous speech? For

the dragon, it also takes ongoing

vigilance and action to maintain

control. Like Janice, actively

choosing to be a speaker whose

words build up others isn't a one-

off decision – it's a lifelong

journey but one we can start

today.
