Proverbs 15:4 (NLT)
[4] Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
It is said that sticks and stones can break bones but words don't hurt... Sooo not true! Words are the most powerful weapons known to man. When we want to hurt another we no exactly what to say, and worst we won't say anything to them at all! In our tongue is both life and death.Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)... for the tongue can kill or nourish life.
A gentle word, patient word, a considerate word is uplifting and even motivating. God gave us the power to speak and we are to use it to speak like Him. A cruel or uncensored word can harm and even ruin another person. It's easy to say something stupid. It's almost impossible to take it back. 1. Pray before you speak. 2. Never speak in the heat of emotion (good or bad). 3. Weigh the outcomes of your words before you release them. 4. Put your tongue on a DIET. 5. Practice speaking kind words, and look for the good in each person and situation. There are enough mean, inconsiderate and judgemental people out there!
God Bless
