“Lord, keep the door of my lips, that no corrupt communication may proceed out of them; but that all my words may be seasoned with grace, and may tend to edification. Let the law of kindness be in my tongue, and enable me to speak what is good in Thy sight, to the glory of Thy great name.”
–William Romaine (1714–1795)

Reflection: Where do I most need God’s help to ensure that my words are “seasoned with grace” and aimed toward edification?
