Beautiful Words

Something I've noticed about words is that they're very powerful. Someone can say something and it can affect another life permanently. I've had that happen to me many times, for the good and for the bad.

Another thing I've noticed is that we start speaking like the people we spend time with. So when we're spending time with people with godly language, we have a tendency to think and speak more godly. If we spend time with people with a more crude, unclean language, we'll have a tendency to speak and think that way.

So it really  matters who we spend time with and what we listen to. When I picture modest women; women who want to please God in every aspect of their lives, I not only picture modest clothing, but I also picture their spirits and how their words are. I think about how they talk and if the words they speak are beautiful to God and uplifting to others.

Our words are very powerful. We can tear down, or we can build up. I think God wants us, as modest women, to be very circumspect in what we say around others. Saying just one wrong thing can affect someone negatively, or positively, for the rest of their lives. Being modest and "beautiful" with our words is just one more aspect of our lives that we need to be aware of on a daily basis. God calls us to be gentle and kind, thoughtful and careful with our lives, our words and our thoughts.

Be careful with how you talk to someone. You don't know their past, and if you do know their past, you still might not know the whole story. Be gentle with your words and let a spirit of love flow through you as you speak. Don't speak out of anger, or assumptions. Don't be rushed with your words because of feelings. Think things through. Speak calmly. Talk out of love and consideration. One thing that can really ruin a person is when a person speaks out of assumptions and even rumors. They've heard this, or heard that and they allow their feelings to get in the way of truth and reality. So instead of being gentle and considerate of the person they're talking to, they rush into accusations, causing possible harm in the other person's life.

Allow your words to be a healing balm to someone's soul. Let them be encouraging, uplifting and full of love and grace.
