A LIFE-GIVING FOUNTAIN
What is pouring out of your mouth today, dear wife and mother? We build our marriages and homes with our words. It is one of our most powerful building tools. Many marriages fall apart for one reason—bitter, angry, and negative words.
Our words have power to build or destroy.
Wait a minute! We have the life of Jesus Christ dwelling within us to speak positive words into our marriages and into the lives of each one of our children. Life-giving words. Loving words. Healing words. Encouraging words. Sweet words. Affirming words. Uplifting words. Oh yes, these make our marriage great. These are the words build up our homes and families.
Proverbs 10:11 says: ‘The mouth of the righteous is a WELL OF LIFE.” Most other translations say: “The mouth of the righteous is a FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.” Life-giving water pouring out on your husband and children.
I love Proverbs 10:32 (TPT): “Words that bring delight POUR from the lips of the godly.”
What power you have as a mother to fill your home with life and vitality. Light and joy. Laughter and happiness. Love and goodness. All through the words that come out of your mouth.
Be a life-giving fountain today.
