Our words reflect the state of our hearts. Let’s fill our hearts with love, kindness, and grace, so that our words can bring life, healing, and hope to those around us.
Just like a tree is known by its fruits, our words reveal the true state of our inner world. If we find ourselves constantly speaking negatively or harshly, it’s a sign that something needs to change, not in our vocabulary but in our heart. The good news is that we don’t have to do this work alone. When we invite the Holy Spirit to fill us, He starts reshaping our inner world. As we surrender to this transforming presence, He helps replace those negative speech patterns with words of gratitude and grace.
Lord, I invite you to tend to the garden of my heart and ask you to uproot any bitterness or negativity and plant seeds of love and joy in their place. Make me cooperate with your transforming work so my words will start to sound like yours, full of life, healing and hope. Amen.
