'God's Giving
Silence That Is Not Golden
"A man finds joy in giving an apt reply — and how good is a timely word!" Proverbs 15:23
Is any selfishness so base, as that which holds loving and gentle words in the heart left unspoken, when the dear lives of those close beside us would benefit from our words?
Use your gift of speech to give comfort, joy, cheer, and hope to all around you. Use it . . .
to encourage the weary and disheartened,
to warn those who are treading in paths of danger,
to inspire the lethargic and discouraged ones with high and holy motives,
to kindle the fires of heavenly aspiration on the cold altars of their hearts.
