Think Before You Speak

Which of you haven’t wished to recant your words at one time or another? I know I have on many occasions even though I consider myself to be quieter than most. I’m still guilty of using my words as arsenals rather than agents of healing far too many occasions.  While reading a devotional from Bible Gateway the other day, I came across a great acronym to use before speaking ( I know the trick is to actually put into practice).  The next time we get the urge to speak, it would be wise to ask ourselves the following:

                                                  T          Is it true?

                                                  H          Is it helpful?

                                                  I           Is it inspiring?

                                                  N          Is it necessary?

                                                  K          Is it kind?
