Chatterbox

Proverbs 10:21
The talk of a good person is rich fare for many,
but chatterboxes die of an empty heart.

We are beginning our week with the last of the "The Road to Life Is a Disciplined Life" verses of Proverbs 10 and it is a toughie.

It has come clear to me that our words are a very important part of our relationship with God. Sometimes we put such little value on them. How ever it is that you communicate with your words there is a clear line drawn between good and bad words. And I am not talking about cussing here. I am talking about pouring truth and life into people because of your words. I think we can talk ourselves in circles and never find the wisdom or understanding that we desire.

You have the power to encourage, to love, to understand and be a rich treasure to many because of your words.

Take inventory the next time you are with friends. Did you chatter away with very little to say? Will the heart of your relationship be left empty because you didn't take the time to listen? When we don't have anything to say, maybe we should honor that.

Heavenly Father~ Today I praise the strength that comes only from You. I thank you for the potential you see when I don't see it. I thank you for being the Father I find comfort in and the Father that encourages me to be more than I am at this moment. Lord, may my life and my words be an honor to you and your beauty. May I be a treasure to those I talk to. Hold my tongue Lord when I chatter on and leave my relationships empty hearted. ~In His Precious Holy Name.

Please pray for Becky G this week.
