When you talk, do not say
harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others
become stronger. Then what you say will do good to those who listen to
you.
Ephesians 4:29
Imagine if our words actually had weight and substance and force and sharp edges. Would we be more careful before we threw our opinions or blame or gossip to others?
We must be wise when choosing our words. Our words DO carry weight! The do leave scars! They can destroy a person's self-perception. They can obliterate a person's reputation, family, and career.
Did you know that just the opposite is true too? Our words do carry weight. When we encourage someone, their performance usually improves. Our words can enhance someone's reputation, help heal a family, and boost their career as well.
Our words......be careful which you launch and to whom and about whom. Before you speak, would you want the same said of you?
