A person finds joy in giving an apt reply and how good is a timely word! Prov. 15:23 (NIV) Our words can have so much impact on others. We should practice intentionality when speaking. Consider the implications and purpose of what you’re saying and why you’re saying it. Make sure you are being appropriate and considerate. Not everything that we think should be said aloud. In fact, ask God to filter your thoughts before they ever form into words. Be prayerful about what you say to others. Ask yourself will my words strengthen and encourage, or will it demean and tear down? Often our words reflect what is in our heart. Find joy within yourself, so you can spread joy to others. Give a timely word that will build and bless others. Allow God to use your voice to make a difference in the life of someone else. May God continue to heal you, so He can use you to be an agent of healing. God will speak to you and through you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
