Let's also continue to be a blessing to those we work with. James teaches us the importance of bridling the tongue. He asks how it is possible that we can praise our Father in Heaven and yet curse people around us who are made in His likeness (James 3:9-12). This can't be! He asks, can both salt water and fresh water come from the same spring?
King David refers to his enemies in a similar manner in Psalm 62. He talks about people who will bless with their mouths, yet they curse you in their hearts (Psalm 62:4).
Educators who are followers of Christ Jesus, watch what you say and check what's in your heart.
Prayer
Lord, give me a pure heart with true & sincere love for my colleagues, students, and others that I will meet this week. Forgive me for any ill-will I hold towards others. Help me to see each person through the lens of Christ-like grace & mercy. I want to be an optimist, not a pessimist, because I know you are with me. Help me to be a blessing to everyone I meet.
