Reading: Ephesians 4:29-32; Colossians 4:6; Proverbs 10:32

Devotional: Christ doesn't just forgive sinful speech—He transforms it. Today, receive your new assignment: speak words "seasoned with salt," that give grace to hearers. The same tongue that once criticized can now encourage. The mouth that gossiped can now intercede. The lips that wounded can now heal. This transformation flows from a cleansed heart, because "out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." Ask the Holy Spirit to examine your motives: pride, insecurity, envy, or resentment often fuel harmful speech. Let Him uproot these and plant love, humility, and compassion instead.

Today, intentionally speak life: encourage someone, pray blessing over another, speak truth gently. Let your lips "bring forth what is acceptable" to God. Your words can become instruments of grace.

Reflection Question for the Week: What would change in your relationships if every word you spoke had to pass through the filter of Christ's love?
