FAITH & FASHION: ..FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKETH

Hello beautiful people,  Happy New Month. May this month be filled with continued blessings and answered prayers. I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation to you all for your thoughtful comments and feedback on my previous post. Your engagement means a lot to me, sincerely. 

So, I wore this outfit to church on Sunday and gave it a bit of a restyle for the blog. Turns out, it’s a solid color block look. 

What are your thoughts on this look?  I'd go first, it's colorful and modish!

Matthew 12:34 ‘…..for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh’ This verse emphasizes that our words are a reflection of our inner character, revealing the true state of our hearts. It warns that the quality of our speech is directly linked to the quality of our inner being. If our hearts are filled with negativity, malice, envy, our words will likely be harmful or toxic. Therefore, when our hearts are pure and virtuous, our words will tend to be uplifting and gracious.

Our words reveal our true character, regardless of any facade we may try to maintain. They expose our inner thoughts, values, and intentions, making it impossible to hide behind a mask of pretense.

Ultimately, our words serve as a mirror to our inner selves, exposing our true nature.

Talk to you in my next post, be you, be kind, stay blessed and remain humble.






QOTD:  ‘Be kind, do not be the reason someone skips a meal, hates waking up, or feels left out. Your words and actions stick with people forever.’

  1. Hola Benita. Me encanta la ropa que llevas, alegre y juvenil.
    Las palabras pueden ser lindas y acogedoras y también feas y distantes, por eso es mejor pensar bien lo que se va a decir y a quien, pues podemos hacer un daño enorme. "Cuando las palabras no son más bonitas que el silencio, es mejor no pronunciarlas ".
    Un beso.

    1. Thank you Lola,

      What I've learnt is that silence, at times, can be more valuable than poorly chosen words, preventing potential damage and misunderstanding. Thanks for stopping by.

  10. Your outfit is cheerful with pretty Spring colors. Love the Matthew verse. Words are important and they do make a difference; we should use them for lifting up. Your own words on here are special as well.

  21. Hola Benita. Tienes una gracia especial para elegir tus conjuntos. A cada cual más bonito. Y esas palabras que has escogido son para tenerlas en cuenta ya que en muchas ocasiones no se piensa lo que se dice. Creo que en muchos momentos las personas nos ponemos una máscara para difuminar la realidad que, en muchas ocasiones, no es tan bonita como se aparenta.
    Que tengas una estupenda semana.
    Un abrazo.

    1. I am flattered, that's such a lovely compliment! And you're so right about the power of words; it's definitely something I try to be more mindful of too. Your thoughts on the masks we sometimes wear and the difference between appearance and reality are really insightful. It's a good reminder to look beyond the surface. Thanks again for your thoughtful message,
