The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 15:4 (NIV)
Dear Jesus, I am stuck again. My grumbly attitude is flying off the charts. Friends are fleeing and family members are bug-eyed. It’s not been a good spiritual look for me to say the least.
Please remind me that a soothing tongue is a tree of life. Seal this wisdom on my soul. May my choice of words never be hurtful but instead healing.
Questions for Pondering…
