Your Words Can Heal or Hurt

Words spoken, typed or posted online can shape how people see themselves. They can encourage, guide and heal, but harsh words can leave lasting wounds. James 1:19 reminds us to be quick to listen and slow to speak. James also compares the tongue to a horse’s bridle and a ship’s rudder: small, yet capable of directing much. Before speaking or posting, consider whether your words will help or harm. Our words reveal what is in our hearts, so it is wise to ask God for the grace to speak with care and kindness.
