Tip of the Day 7/13/12

Word for Today, Beloved: I am a lover of words and good literature. When I read a story or poetry written in a beautiful style, I am inspired to speak in a more refined manner. To season my speech with grace as the Bible tells me to. The word "beloved" is found often as we read the works of great writers like Jane Austen or Louisa Mae Alcott, Shakespear and Dickinson. A few months ago I told one of my girlfriends every time I was with her I felt inspired to speak as if I was in an Austen novel. But this is also the language of David and Solomon and Jesus. I love the beautiful words and language used throughout the Bible. It is my language guide, to teach me to season my speech with grace. Do we inspire others to a gentler form of speech? Our heart speaks through the mouth. What is your heart saying? "I am my beloved's and his desire is toward me."
