Guard Your Words, Protect Your Life

“He who guards his lips preserves his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.” – Proverbs 13:3

Our words hold incredible power—they can build bridges of understanding or tear them down. Today, let’s commit to pausing before we speak, listening with intention, and choosing words that uplift and heal.

Not everyone communicates the same way, and not everyone knows how to connect with God. Let’s extend patience, mercy, and compassion, keeping others above ourselves. True love shines when we reflect the grace of Christ in what we say and how we say it.

Challenge for today:
Before you speak, ask yourself:

  1. Is it true?
  2. Is it kind?
  3. Is it necessary?

Let’s embrace wisdom and the Holy Spirit to guide our words and actions today. 💬✨
