The desire for a good life and positive relationships often begins with the choice to control one’s tongue. Words hold the power to build or break, to bless or wound. By keeping our speech free from deceit and malice, we foster a life marked by integrity and kindness. This self-control is a reflection of humility, as it requires us to prioritize truth over the impulse to lash out or deceive. When we choose words that reflect our values, we build a life rooted in respect and sincerity. This honesty invites trust, as others see our commitment to integrity. By keeping our words aligned with our principles, we create an environment where relationships flourish. The choice to refrain from harmful speech is a step toward a life filled with good days, for it sets a tone of respect and empathy. This commitment to truth and humility builds a legacy of trust, allowing us to live each day with a clear conscience and a spirit free from regret.
Proverbs 13:5
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
Proverbs 10:9
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
Proverbs 28:6
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
Psalm 34:13
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.
