Speak with Kindness

Life can be challenging at times…we may have financial problems, our health could be in crisis or family members may not be getting along. Negative attitudes and behaviors are contagious and it is important that we curb our tongue and rejuvenate our enthusiasm with positive energy. It is astounding how the spirit of God can fill our thoughts and direct our speech and behaviors. When visiting with a friend who had been at odds with a family member I was inspired as the conversation became positive and optimistic. We are always given choices of whether we want to carry that burden of negativity around or embrace positive thoughts and actions. Following our Lord in love, understanding and compassion for others is a choice. I pray we continue our Bible studies, prayers and Christian fellowship that allow us to grow in a close relationship with God and Jesus. Our lives change and our attitudes and behaviors become gentle, calm and open to a faith that encompasses all that God has planned for us. Proverbs 22: 11-12 He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious will have the king for his friend. The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. Let’s keep our thoughts positive, our behaviors honorable and speech encouraging as we follow God’s plan. Remember the sky is the limit…we are heaven bound. Enjoy the miracles of this day.
