As children of God, our speech matters because it flows from our renewed identity in Him. We can't tame the tongue in our own strength, but through the Holy Spirit's power, a transformed heart produces consistent, life-giving words. Let your speech today match your actions—full of truth, love, encouragement, and praise. Guard against careless words that spark harm. Choose to build up rather than tear down, remembering that people around you bear God's likeness.
