James 3:9-11

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. Can both fresh water and salt water come from the same spring? James 3:9-11 (NIV)

Jesus longs for His goodness to flow from our lives. This includes the words that flow from our mouths. We can honor Him with the way we live our lives and the way we interact with others. When our words are uplifting and encouraging, we sound like Him. It doesn't get much better than that.
