Powerful Words
Your words have power. Speak words that are kind, loving, positive, uplifting, encouraging, and life-giving. (Source unknown)
We can all remember times when words really hurt us. It may have been a childhood experience or an even more serious offense when a close friend or spouse said something that wounded us deeply. Even after forgiving the offender, the hurt may remain. So, remember the power of your words; fill your vocabulary with words that build up and encourage others.
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. (Ephesians 4:29)
