12 Does anyone want to live a life that is long a prosperous?
13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!
Think of a time someone said something to or about you that made you feel bad. Now, think of a time someone said something nice about you—something that made you feel good. Write about the encouraging things people said about you that helped you to become a better person. Explore (1) how those words built your confidence in God and your sense of worth, (2) how they helped you to be nice to others in turn, (3) how long they have stuck in your memory, and/or (4) any other positive results they may have had.
Make sure to write down your response in your paper lesson or on a personal notebook.
