“Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”
— Matthew 5:37 NASB1995
🔦 Honest Words Matter
Jesus says we shouldn’t have to make big promises to prove we’re telling the truth. If we always tell the truth, people will trust our words. God wants us to be known for our honesty.
When you say you’ll do something, do it. When you say no, mean it kindly. That’s what it means to follow Jesus with your words.
🏛 Long Ago…
Early Christian children were known for their honesty. They didn’t make promises they couldn’t keep. They were taught to tell the truth the first time.
💡 Think About It:
- Have you ever said you’d do something but didn’t?
- How can you practice telling the truth every day?
✨ Let’s Pray:
Jesus, help me be honest in everything I say. Let my words be full of truth and kindness. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
