Dec.08.00: Light For The Day - "Kind Words"

-- Proverbs 16:24 
"Kind words are like a honeycomb, 
sweetness to the soul and health to the body."

-----------------
Dear Father, 

With all of the sourness and tartness in today's
world, help my words to be words like honey.
May they be sweet and honest.
May I commend and bless in such a way that
the results are enjoyable and healthful. 

Cause me to realize, Lord, that kind words are
not always words that sound kind.
Sometimes kind words reprimand while at
other times they are a soft disagreement.
May I understand that kind words must come
out of a heart that has kindness in it.
Give me the right kind of kindness in my
heart to put forth the right kind of words.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

-- Rev. Billy Zeoli

-- Psalm 19:14
"May the words of my mouth and the thoughts
of my heart be pleasing to You, O LORD,
my rock and my redeemer."

-- Proverbs 15:26
"The LORD despises the thoughts of the wicked,
but he delights in pure words."
