us. With more grace we must do more for God. With new grace we must do new things for God. The grace of God helps us live a life of ever increasing

offer thanksgiving unto the Lord with a grateful heart, the Lord will increase His grace in our lives and bless us abundantly.

encouragement are a great blessing to others. Cruel words can wound others deeply and we must avoid speaking such destructive words. We have to give an

account before God on the Day of Judgement for every careless word that we speak. Therefore we must be very careful over every word that we speak . We must

have a good heart and speak good words out of the overflow of the good treasure of our heart.We should not speak evil words and words that slander others .

Our words must be a blessing to others . Our words must be truthful and humble . Our words must be free from bitterness and anger.
