Proverbs 31:26 (ESV)
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.”
A godly mom doesn’t just love with her hands—she loves with her words. Her mouth speaks wisdom because her heart is full of God. She doesn’t yell to prove her point. She speaks softly, but her words carry weight.
This verse shows us what real love looks like from a mother. It’s not just hugs and meals—it’s truth and kindness spoken day after day. Her love teaches. Her love corrects. Her love builds.
When the Bible says “she opens her mouth with wisdom,” it means she doesn’t speak out of anger or pride. She speaks from a place of peace, guided by the Lord. And when it says “the teaching of kindness is on her tongue,” it means her words carry grace, even when life is hard.
If you’re a mom, this verse reminds you that your voice matters. Speak life. Speak Scripture. Speak with gentleness. And if you’re not a mom, remember the women who’ve spoken wisdom and kindness into your life—they reflect this verse, too.
Short Prayer:
Lord, fill my mouth with wisdom and my heart with kindness. Let my words bring light and life.
