Older women are to be... dignified

Hi Ladies,
Today I received an email with a quote on it and this is what it said:
"God listens to our hearts rather than our lips." What a nice thought that is...
He knows our hearts and even though our lips might not speak what our heart is really thinking or feeling ...He knows the difference.
I was thinking about some of the things I say and I know that they are at times said out of love and other times out of insecurity and uncertainty. I speak hastily without checking my wording. It can be a very bad habit! How are you doing with this? Do you always "think before you speak?" Or do you expect others to know what is in your heart? I'm thinking others listening don't usually read my heart so they only have the words to go on. I can be thankful that some of them love me and are willing to overlook and forgive.
David was a man after God's own heart and he certainly was a sinful person...that gives me hope! Thank you Lord for the encouragement of the scriptures...thank you for the men and women that sinned and were still loved by you. Thank you for listening to my heart!
