Mom always said if you didn't have something nice to say don't say anything at all...wise words of wisdom.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing"
Proverbs 12:18
It's easy to see how words can be used as a weapon. We've all either been "cut" by the words of others, or we've used words to put someone "in their place." The truth of the matter is when we use words recklessly or in a way that cuts others, we are not being wise.
The scripture tells us that the tongue of the wise brings life and healing to others.
Selah people' and friends today, look for ways to be wise. Find something nice to say about someone or share an encouraging word. You never know how you can bring healing to a person's heart by sharing a kind, gracious word. And remember, words are like seeds. What words are using daily with your friends, your family, your coworkers? What are you texting, emailing or putting on your Facebook or MySpace page. When you plant words of life and blessing into others, you're sure to reap a harvest of blessing in your own life in return. Join me in squashing hateful and hurtful words and replacing them with seed of hope and encouragement. "Wise Words!"
