Pure Words
(by Phil Ware)
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE
September 7, 2004
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen.
--Ephesians 4:29
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The goal in Christian communication is not merely clarity,
but encouragement based on what the needs
of the other person are.
MY PRAYER...
Tender Shepherd, give me a heart that is pure
so that my words may be pure.
Give me a heart that is kind
so that my words may be kind.
Give me a heart that is full of joy and encouragement
so that I may share these with those you bring
to my path and with whom I share conversation.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
