Watch Your Words
There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 12:18
We are often better at putting each other down than building each other up. We use our words as swords rather than scalpels, to hurt rather than to do the work of healing. Never forget: cutting words do hurt. They penetrate deeply into a person's heart, slicing it to ribbons.
— Charles R. Swindoll
