We all know the pain of a wound. We’ve all had a cut, or scrape, or injury to deal with along the way. And because of that, we also know the relief that comes as the wound begins to heal. As this Proverb reminds us, our words have the power to do both. We can cause injury, pain, and wounds in others when we use words that hurt or tear down. But when we choose wise words—words that build others up—we can bring healing to someone else. That certainly shows the power of our words! To help you keep the potential of your words in mind, memorize this verse in Proverbs. Let it encourage you to choose wise words that ultimately bring healing.
