Angry words spoken will only cause someone to withdraw, pull back or even shut down. But gracious words help them to open up, blossom and motivates them to reach for higher ground.
Every word that we speak today will either lift someone up or lower them down. Paul told us to “Watch the way we talk…..Say only what helps…Eph 4:29. Solomon told us that there is healing in the words of the wise… Proverbs 12:18. A wise man listens to instructions and obeys it.
You will find that most people will reproduce the seeds that you sew in their lives, be it bad or good seed. If we are telling someone that they are incapable or worthless, they will probably strive to fail and prove us correct. However, if we are encouraging them in grace and praising the good in them, they will make every effort to strive to justify our confidence in them.
Col. 4:6 says, “Let your speech be always with grace.”
Loving you today! Bren
