Trail Mix - 5.22.18

5.22.18 – “Do you ever say things that you wish you hadn't said? None of us can afford to “throw stones” at others on account of their speech because we have all come short at one time or another. Our speech should be that which edifies. It should bring blessing instead of blasting! Be careful of gossip, tale bearing and the breaking of a confidence also. The man or woman who can control this "animal" that has its den right behind our teeth is blessed indeed.” S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to have the spiritual discipline to control the “beast” and be a blessing instead of a curse.

Ephesians 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. KJV
