“The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.” Proverbs 15:28

Dear Lord, I know how a reckless word from someone else can hurt. Sometimes it lingers in my heart like a bad smell on a humid, still day. I don’t want to be that person who stinks up everyone around him. So, give me the wisdom to put a bit in my mouth and make every word filter through the Scriptures so I can discern if it is worth saying or not. Help me to be genuine in my encouragements and friendly in all my exchanges. Make my mouth a blessing and not a curse. Amen.

Words that bless are like a stream of cool water on a hot and dry day.
