When God says...
"He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health." (Proverbs 12:17, 18 NKJV)
He who speaks truth has it in his heart. The scriptures declare: Jesus is the Truth. A person standing right with God always speaks truth because he accepts Jesus in his heart. It is written in Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."(KJV)
Words can hurt like piercing of a sword. We are to be sober. Be in control what to fill our hearts with. The choice is between righteousness which brings out words that build up, and wickedness which spills out words that destroy. The tongue is like a weapon. It can destroy, or build up, by the words it speaks. The tongue is evil prone until it is totally surrendered to God, and then it can be like a healing balm. We are warned, as it is written - "From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. (James 3:10 ESV)
And I say A,MEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
