Words Growing from God's Word

I want wisdom and fairness to shape your words today. Thoughtful phrasing is valuable, but let us first consider what you are holding in your heart. Little by little, your lips reveal what you have kept there.

Keep my teaching close within you. As respect for people and honest judgment take root, you can grow steadier in what you say and do. A good foundation within your heart helps guide your outward life.

Listen carefully even when someone thinks differently from you. Ask me how to speak what is right with kindness. May the good words growing from your heart become a source of strength for someone you meet today.
