A Scripture and Thought For Your Day
“CONVERSATION HEARTS” this 28 day Devotional is meant to keep us focused on the words we speak daily.
Jesus said: …”For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Jesus was saying that our mouths will speak what is in our heart—therefore, we should check our hearts daily to see what is in them.
This Daily Devotional will help us do that by giving us a “little conversation heart” for each day that we can use to keep our speech sweet and good.
