When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger. Then what you say will do good to those who listen to you. ~ Ephesians 4:29 (NCV)
Loving Lord, thank you for the way that you have restrained yourself and not blasted me when I do stupid things. You could unleash an army of words to put me in my place. But you just say what I need to hear and when I need to hear it. I'd love to have that kind of restraint and wisdom. I think that would bring honor to you. Please help me to move that direction. Amen.
