My Prayer

Proverbs 15:1-7 ESV

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. A fool despises his father's instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. ...

It's one thing to read this verse in how you can relate to others, but read it in the perspective of how you relate to yourself. Do you allow your thoughts towards yourself to break your spirit, then through deductive reasoning they are perverse thoughts. Don't allow the harsh words of your spirit stir up anger or folly in your countenance for it is just the folly of the old foolish man.

Be the gentle, wise tongue commending knowledge and establishing growth via the tree of life to yourself and then to others. If you can't love yourself can you really love others?

Love,
Dad
