Think before you
speak! The Bible has quite a bit to say about how we use our words. In Eph. 4:29, we're told, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up ..."
We need to be aware of how powerful our words can be. Once spoken, they can never be taken back. The old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is simply not true! Unkind words hurt deeply, and may even destroy someone's self esteem for life!
The Bible is filled with stories of people who God sustained through His words of encouragement. How we speak - reflects Christ's character within us. Be generous with words of encouragement. When tempted to give an angered response, stop and ask yourself, "What would Jesus say?" God will give us the victory.
