A good word is one which does some one good; it may be a word of teaching, a word of warning, or a word of comfort; always a word of truth and love. Speak one such word at least every day. Our days are few at best; certainly no one of them should pass by without an opening of the lips for God. Who can tell the effects of a single sentence, uttered with faith and prayer. It may reach to thousands; it may reach into eternity. As wave moves wave in the ocean, so one word of grace may reach from mind to mind, and thus be producing effects long after the tongue which uttered it shall have turned to dust. Never despair of being useful so long as you have the gift of speech. If you can say nothing else, you may at least repeat some text of Scripture: this may save a soul. That child, that servant, that visitor, that stranger, may praise God in heaven for the truth heard from you. "Let your speech be seasoned with salt" Keep the heart full, and you will have something to say. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Every day the ungodly are uttering fatal words, kindling bad passions, and destroying souls. Every day, therefore, all Christians should be saying something for Christ. Many a time, through grace, a single saying has been blessed to the awakening of a soul. Pray for help to devise and utter such things every day of your life, as may lead those who hear you to faith in your Redeemer.
