Mindful Speech and Behavior

Greetings to all. As you move through this weekend, let us be mindful of our words and actions.

Our words have the potential to shape the experiences and emotions of those around us. Yet, too often, we speak without considering the impact, using words that are careless or hurtful. Words gain value when they are truthful and matched by sincere acts of kindness, compassion, and efforts to make amends.

Ephesians 5:6–7 (GW)

6 Don’t let anyone deceive you with meaningless words. It is because of sins like these that God’s anger comes to those who refuse to obey him.

7 Don’t partner with them. 

Lesson: Our words can build up or harm others, and our actions provide a true reflection of our inner intentions.  We must consider the impact of our speech and behavior.
