As I was getting up this morning, I don’t know if I was dreaming or just groggy from waking up, but the word “fortify” kept coming up over and over in my head. Half asleep, I imagined myself sitting in my thought garden, choosing words to build up around me. 

As I start to build I already had a foundation of rocks there waiting on me. Faith, serenity, balance, peace, harmony, and hope are my main rocks in the garden. 

I also add protection, love, strength, wisdom, understanding, and preparedness to the list.  Now this is before I got out of bed. Now that I’m awake, I read a devotional to get my day started. This was a snip of it:

“”Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29 KJV

Sow words of grace. Sow words of kindness. Sow words of wisdom into others. Your words can build up or tear down. John 6:63 KJV declares, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Speak life. Choose to build up others with your words.

Choose to edify and build up one another. Let no corrupt or foul communication proceed from your mouth. Let your words minister to the heart of others. Consider your words before you speak. “ – Do good unto all men devotional
