Bible verses for children
Words reveal what we nurture.
Luke 6:45
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

Notice what you keep repeating about someone and choose a fairer way to speak.
