Words of Healing

Proverbs 12:18 (Amplified Bible) There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

You've heard the old sayings "Think before you speak", and "Choose your words wisely." Words that are spoken hastily can more times than not, be words that tear down, not build up. Words can cut like a knife and do damage to the soul of the ones they are directed towards. Words can cause deep wounds and offenses, but words can also bring peace and healing. There is much wisdom in thinking before you speak. You can be the person today who either causes the ruckus, or stops it by simply speaking the right words. I'm not talking about being "politically correct" or avoiding the truth, but there is something the bible calls "speaking the truth in love". Even a word of correction or rebuke can be said in such a way that helps the one who needs to hear it, instead of offending them. Avoid the offense today by walking in the wisdom of God. Use your words to bring peace, not destruction.

Have A Blessed day
