Proverbs 25:11King James Version (KJV)
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Dear Friends,
Words have the power to heal and destroy. The Bible say this:
- Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. - Proverbs 18:21
When we choose words that are uplifting, words that encourage and speak life to someone else we can have a tremendous impact on their day and life. Imagine a child or teenager who only hears negative talk at home and the teacher in the classroom who provides positive reinforcement, "good job," "you have great potential!"
I think about the times when walking through the grocery store or down the street and smiling and saying hello or good morning to people I pass. Some are genuinely shocked, especially teenagers but most smile and speak back.
Taking the time to say something good means slowing down and paying attention.
And as my grandmother use to say if you can't say anything good, don't say anything.
How about it. Do you have anything good to say?
To each of you reading the blog today, I want to say may the Lord bless an keep you. Thank you for taking the time to share your time with me here at Tysthatbind.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
