“Keep me from all words that would do harm, and make me to speak only those that will do good. Let my tongue be a fountain of life, not of death; of healing, not of wounding; of comfort, not of sorrow; of truth, not of falsehood; of faith, not of unbelief; of love, not of bitterness; of peace, not of strife; of holiness, not of sin.”
–Horatius Bonar (1808–1889)

Reflection: Where might your speech today become a “fountain of life” for someone who needs healing?
