The Bible emphasizes speaking words that build up and reflect God's love. Ephesians 4:29 instructs us to avoid harmful communication and instead speak in ways that provide grace. Our words reflect our hearts, so aligning them with God's teachings is crucial. We can achieve this by pausing before speaking, encouraging, speaking truth in love, and practicing gratitude. Through our words, we can bear witness to God's love and bring light into others' lives.
