I speak and listen from the love of God in my heart.
As I think about how often I may talk to others in a typical day, I realize that I am given opportunities to bring healing, peace, and joy to them through what I say.
And I do, as I speak with love and kindness. I also listen to others, putting all judgment aside. With strangers and loved ones alike, I communicate from the sacred love at the core of my being.
In my daily prayers, I spend time in the silence where I am conscious of the still small voice within. With heart and mind, I am prepared to both speak and listen from a place of absolute love and acceptance.
I imagine and anticipate the positive results that will follow when, each time I communicate with another, I choose to do so from the love of God in my heart.
“If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.”—1 Corinthians 13:1
