There aren’t many limits to what people say.
Tasteless expressions are heard every day.
I’m saddened how unrefined words have crept in.
I don’t like to hear them... my patience grows thin!
Christians, be guarded in all of your speech.
Consider your words and where they will reach.
Let what you say be full of much light,
Free of encumbrances, shadows and blight.
Let us reflect the goodness of God.
Let all our speech with beauty be shod.
We shouldn’t accept the speech of today.
It will not enhance what we wish to say.
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O
Lord, my strength and my redeemer.”
Psalm 19:14 KJV
