My Early Christmas Gift

I already have the perfect Christmas gift idea for myself this year. It is verbal filter for my mouth. Do you know if there is such a thing in existence? I often say the wrong thing, say too much, say not enough to explain myself, or worse, I say nothing. If I had a filter I could simply know when to speak or when to (sorry ladies) shut up! Since the human mouth filter is not yet been invented, I do know of an alternate device. It is one that I already have access to, but often forget it is available for the asking. That would be the HS series which has been on my soul shelf for many many years now. I am refering to the Holy Spirit which is with me at all times. It can direct every word that leaves my tongue if I will only just stop before speaking and turn it on. I would avoid so much guilt, embarrassment, and worry if I put this amazing HS series into practice.

"Father, forgive me when I use my words carelessly without thought of You first. I want to be honoring in my speech so that everyone knows who I belong to and to whom I serve."


"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear."
Ephesians 4:29 (NASB)
