“Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4
We have hearts that our sensitive, hearts that are easily broken, and hearts that reveal the battle scars of life. We have hearts that are bitter, hearts that are angry, and hearts that are empty. But we all have hearts that are meant to be tended to, nourished, taken care of, and filled and fed with the word of God.
If we want to develop words that are uplifting, kind, and loving, then we must develop hearts that are kind, loving, uplifting and FULL of the word of God.
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11
We can never clean up our speech if we don’t clean up our hearts first!
Prayer: Lord create within me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me. Amen
