Kind
Words
Are
Like Honey –
Sweet
To The Soul And Healthy For The Body.
Scripture
Proverbs
16
Observation
How
do you talk to the people that you love, or that you are supposed to
love? It is so easy to fall into the trap of being short with our
loved ones, with be grouchy, with saying unkind things to our spouse
or to our children.
I
hope that your spouse and your children don't let you get away with
that. Kathy isn't about to put up with it from me!
I
love you. I was wrong. Will you forgive me? Three phrases we better
memorize and use often.
There
is power in our words – power to heal and build up and sadly also
power to tear down and destroy.
Proverbs
12:18 NCV
Proverbs
15:4 MSG
4
Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim.
Application
I
will watch what I say and how I say what I say. I will apologize when
I am short, when my tone is harsh or when I say hurtful things to
Kathy or to anyone else.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, may
the words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm
19:14) Don't let me be abusive with what
I say and how I say it.
I
pray for any person who may read this blog today. Help them to guard
their mouth. Help them to use what they say to build up people and
not to tear people down.
