James says that if your tongue could be tamed, you'd be a perfect person. Like a horse with a bridle, like a ship with a rudder, and like a spark to a fire, your tongue, though small, can have massive effects that determine the course of your life. If that's the case, what's the secret to taming our tongue? How do we do it? The answer he gives is startling, yet freeing: "No person can tame the tongue", in other words, we can't- but "every good and perfect gift comes from above." So, even though you can't tame your tongue, when God has the reins, HE CAN!
