Use caution when speaking. Speak only words that will encourage uplift and are used for a good purpose, because what we say to others might make a difference between the life and death of the spirit.
A parent has the power to bring up a child that is confident, that will grow up to be a leader. Or with the same power of word, raise a child that we be a burden to society, which will in turn destroy themselves and others.
You can use you words to make someone fall in love with you or make that same person hate you.
It is not the same thing to say to someone “damn your feet stink”, then “do you have an athlete’s foot problem?”
When someone's tongue is like a double-edged sword, they can use it for praise and condemn at the same time. The word of God teaches us:
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 12:18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing
The tongue is the most powerful part of our body. You can use it to build or destroy. Michael Jackson- yes I am using him as an example since he is what everyone is talking about now- was destroyed by the words the media emphasized about his character and brought back to “King” status by the very same people, after it was too late for him to enjoy.
What do you choose to use words for, towards war or towards peace?
The spoken word can’t ever be taken back. Once it has created a wound, a scar will forever remain.
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug. --Mark Twain
