So often we speak before sincerely thinking about the impact of our words. And because of that, we can either lift people’s spirits, or totally break them down.
The questions are: What impact would you want your words to have? How would you want others to respond to you? What sort of aura do you want to impart? Do you want to earn respect and friends, or do you want people to steer clear of you, turning your space into absolute loneliness.
I would imagine that you would want to have a positive impact, allowing others to respond with respect, filling them with a desire to become a friend who loves being in your sincerely positive, caring and peaceful space.
Lord God, thank You for Your Word, which teaches
and encourages us to lean on, and trust in your guidance. Father, as You guard our
mouths from destruction, please fill us with wisdom to speak in ways that will radiate
joy, peace, and Your light, into all those we interact with. In Jesus name I
pray, amen.
