But only such

Yesterday, again, I said something I shouldn't. Oh, how one sentence can change an atmosphere.

I have told and been told - "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it."

"Let no foul or polluting language,

nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk

[ever] come out of your mouth,

but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial

to the spiritual progress of others,

as is fitting to the need and the occasion,

that it may be a blessing and give grace

(God’s favor) to those who hear it."

~Ephesians 4:29 AMP

 

Lord, have mercy. Please forgive me. "Take control of what I say, O Lord,
and guard my lips." (Psalm 141:3 NLT)

 

"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

keep watch over the door of my lips!"

~Psalm 141:3

 

For "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." (Proverbs 18:21)

 

My daughter brought home this "kitty-cat" from our trip.

 

Lord, may it be a reminder to me to - watch what I say...only such...

 

Keep CZECHING IN!
