Words

There are many words in the world. Words are what we use to express ourselves, like how I'm writing right now. Words have power. We can heal with our words. Proverbs 16:24 says "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." What if it was our words that were 'sweet' and 'healing'? 

Unfortunately, our words also have the power to hurt. Many people choose to use their words like that, with the intent of hurting others. Sometimes we hurt others by accident. When we do that, we sin. Jesus makes this clear in Matthew 5:22. "And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.". This means we will be held accountable for the things we say. Let's use our words in ways that make others feel happy and loved.
