Judgment!

A simple question for you today.... Do your words speak judgment or grace?

I know it seems like an overly simple question at first. But live with it for a little while. Reflect back on situations, conversations, and interactions you have had with people today, this week, this month! You see some of the things we say seem extremely harmless to us. They are off the cuff remarks that once they have left our lips they are out of our thoughts. Words have power!

The very words we may think nothing about can wound others. The words we use can provoke reaction in the people we engage in conversation. Do you take time to measure what you say? Do you, as Scripture recommends, hold every thought captive before it becomes words? It's one of those easier said than done realities.

So think about it a little while today and see what happens! It's a worthy endeavor and just may lead to a means of grace in your life.
