Speak Love
Prov 12 (NIV) 18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Sometimes when I hear a word that is so critical and does nothing but steal another’s joy, I wonder if the person speaking intends for their words to hurt. Are they trying to wound the other person? Are they even aware of the impact of their words?
But the scripture speaks to someone who is reckless and not deliberate, someone who does not mean to hurt another, and is likely unaware of the consequences of their actions. And I think possibly the best way to insure that I do not let my words hurt another Is to be intentional in speaking good, speaking encouragement, speaking the love of God.
May we breathe in God’s words each morning, so that we speak out God’s love the rest of the day.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
