Purity Of Heart And Graciousness Of Speech

 Perhaps one of the more important areas in most lives is relationships - our communion with God and relationships with others. The book of Proverbs contains a wealth of advice and information on maintaining fellowship with the Father and our relationships with one another. Here, we discover that the one who loves purity of heart and is gracious in their speech is a friend of the King, and honors the Lord.
 Despite its simplicity, this verse supplies an abundance of wisdom that can place our feet on the path of purity and the road of righteousness.
 Both Purity Of Heart And Graciousness Of Speech are character traits we should all seek to develop, but neither are possible in our own strength. Purity and grace only comes through the power of the Holy Spirit, but in Him we have everything we need for life and purity, goodness, and grace.
One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a wealth of truth there is in the book of Proverbs. Thank You for reminding us that You desire purity of heart and graciousness of speech in Your children. May the words of our mouths, the meditation of our hearts, the actions we undertake, and the motives behind all we do, be pleasing in Your sight. Purify our hearts we pray, so that after we have been tried, we may come forth as gold. We pray that all our words may be seasoned with salt and spoken in love for Your greater praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
