We need to think about the impact of our words on others. Even though the tongue is a small part of the body, it has the power to make tremendous injuries. The words we use to communicate with one another is like a knife. In the hands of a skillful surgeon, a knife can do good. But in the hands of a careless, thoughtless person it can cause harm. A kind word can uplift, nourish, and mend a broken heart. (Proverbs 16:24) Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Words can restore confidence, hope, and purpose to a loved one who has felt rejection, and loss all their life. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. I wish that were TRUE but the fact is... unkind words do injure our spirits and sometimes deeply. Being criticized or talked down to, can inflict a wound that can take years to heal. .¸¸♥´bonnie´¯`♥.¸¸.♥
