There are so many times we speak before thinking. We all know that words can build us up or break us down. Each person we come in contact with every day is important, and we should speak and respond to them with kindness and with grace.
"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Ephesians 4:29
We need to remember that our tongue is powerful. I have always said, "we speak what we think." Each one of us knows that can be good and bad. A person with a kind heart will speak words of kindness and goodness. A person with an unforgiving, bitter heart, may speak words of meanness.
Our words should be an encouragement and we should speak with grace. Ask God to help us control what we say and to guard our lips. I love this verse. "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips." Psalm 141:3
Love in Christ,
Tera
