Proverbs 15:1

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Ministry places you in rooms where emotions run high. A sharp word can be justified and still be unwise. Gentleness is not weakness; it is strength that has decided to serve peace rather than win the moment. You can be truthful and still be tender.

Prayer: Father, guard my tongue today. Let my words bring peace wherever I go. Amen.
