Gentle Words


S ~ Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:4

O ~ Life giving, and life crushing. Words have power, and depending on how they are spoken, they can bring growing life, or they can bring crushing death.

A ~ Gentleness has to do with strength under control. Strong words don’t have to be spoken strongly - they can be spoken gently. Crushing words can be spoken gently too - so it’s not only in the tone of the words, it’s in the tone of the heart.

P ~ Lord, I sure am a work in progress regarding my words. Please help me - touch my heart, and my lips, that I might be gentle when I speak - and bring fruitful flourishing life, instead of withering and crushing death.
