recently... I went to lunch with two other women... and before I knew it... I was saying things that I had no business saying... not necessarily mean comments.. not lies... just things that didn't need to be said... they were in no way edifying... and certainly did not need to be said...
and after I went home the Lord really began to deal with me... now I am thinking that the women I was with never gave another thought to what was said... as I said.. it wasn't gossip... it wasn't talking about something going on in someone else's life... but God was talking to me about what someone who did not know Jesus might see in the conversation... someone who didn't know me or anyone else that was with me... would I have been perceived as a child of Christ? as a servant of the most High God? or would I look like anyone else that lives as they please... not living for God...
Father I need your help with my tongue... I do not seem to have the ability to stop this altogether... and while I know that I speak far better than I used to.. I still have such a long way to go... change my heart and my mind O God so that my thoughts about others are pure.. for if I think pure.. I will speak pure... help me to see in others what You see in them... change me Lord... in Jesus name I ask.. amen.amen.amen. I thank you in advance for Your answer to my prayer... I praise you for Your faithfulness to me when I do not deserve it... I love you Lord... truly...
