Words as Tools

I watch my words today. I speak only that which is good and constructive.

Each of us use many tools each day. Rightly employed, they help us accomplish the things we need to do. Tools used wrongly, whether through ignorance or deliberate intent, are destructive and harmful.

The words you speak are tools that God has given you. Are you using them in a constructive or destructive way?

Words can discourage or encourage. Words can build confidence and success or destroy it. Words can cause optimism and joy or despair and gloom.

Become conscious of the way you use words; be aware of the words themselves. Words of anger, criticism, gossip, fear, and despair tear down. Words of encouragement, kindness, peace, and happiness build up and bless—not only others but ourselves.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21)
