Ephesians 4:29
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” During this Lenten season, let us be mindful of the words we speak, choosing kindness and grace in every conversation. It is often easy to slip into patterns of negativity—whether through gossip, harsh words, or judgmental attitudes. We often fail to leave room for grace in our interactions with others. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to reflect His love not only in our actions but also in our speech. Whether we are speaking to friends, strangers, or even those who have wronged us, may our words be uplifting, encouraging, and full of grace. Let us also remember to extend the same compassion to others that God so freely gives to us, recognizing that everyone carries burdens we cannot see.
CLOSING PRAYER
Heavenly Father, as we walk through this season of Lent, help us to be intentional with our words. Let us speak with kindness, encouragement, and grace, avoiding language that tears others down. Forgive us for the times we have spoken carelessly or hurtfully. Thank You for Your endless grace, and may we reflect it in the way we speak and interact with others. Teach us to follow Your example, using our words to bring light and love. Amen
