Matthew 15:11

It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that defiles and dishonors him, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles and dishonors him.

We can all be gauged good or bad by what we speak. If we have offense, hurt, jealousy, hatred, anger, all will be spoken about from our mouths because we are still thinking about the problem in our hearts. Forgiveness doesn’t dwell on past mistakes and doesn’t hold a grudge. For us to be free and have clean hearts, we must forgive and not dwell on the problem again.
