Words matter. They will either bless or curse. They form the esteem of all people. They create deep scars when they are abused, and they edify when spoken in the proper light. If you take the time to think back in your life of two instances where words built you up, and when they broke your spirit, you’ll realize the truth in this passage. Are you still living your life based on what someone told you growing up? If so, why? The Bible clearly tells us to guard our hearts, for it is the well-spring of life. It starts with choosing to follow God’s ways. His ways are best. His ways are considerate of others. Words matter. Choose wisely.
21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
Proverbs 18:21
