Proverbs 31:26

 Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.  ESV

Ahhh, a verse we can all relate to! Every time we open our mouths, wisdom and kind words flow from our lips right? What a thing to aspire to! 

Stop and think of the godly women in your life, past or present, who emulate this verse. Were they perfect? Not this side of heaven. Did they make mistakes? I'm sure. But the reason these women stick out in your mind as someone special, important, and key in your life is because you knew when they spoke, truth and wisdom would be heard. Not only did they listen and speak in wisdom, they were also kind-even when kindness hurt a little.

We caution so often to avoid gossip, cutting down others, and any hurtful speech. But let's not simply avoid gossiping; lets determine to speak in wisdom, teaching with kindness, uplifting others. I can only imagine the change that our families, our church, and our town would see if each of us women committed to focusing on implementing this verse into every part our daily lives.
