Love/HateSample

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you saw the impact of a kind word? Maybe it was something encouraging or nice that you said to someone else that meant a lot to them. Or maybe it was something someone spoke to you that stuck with you. Either way, you know the power in positive words. 

The writer of this proverb says words can literally be healing to other people. So why be reckless with our words? Why not pay more attention to the words that come out of our mouths? If what we say to or about others has the power to impact their lives for the better, wouldn’t we want to offer that to them? Wouldn’t we want the same offered to us? Think about the people in your life right now. Who do you think could use a healing word from you? This week, make an effort to use your words wisely by speaking love and life to that person.
