Let Not Word or Wish Escape Your Lips Without Deliberation of Your Truest Intent

THE RIGHT WORDS MATTER: It is important to value your words and use them for a good purpose. Let your words lift others up. The words you write or speak can impact others lives good or bad, even ugly. It is super important to guard your every word. If you want friends, you should be friendly to others. You cannot uncrush or unoffend anyone, so to be wise about how we speak to others and value our relationships over the need to be right, we are instructed to choose our words wisely. Proverbs 18:20-21 says, From the fruit of their mouth, a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips, they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

It is so important to always remember, every word you speak has the power to hurt or heal, to deliver or destroy, to curse or bless, to tear down or build up. Words are also a frame around you of how people think about you. Words are a powerful force available to humanity, they can heal, harm, hinder, hurt, humiliate, and even humble.

To quote Mr. Rogers “There are 3 ways to ultimate success. The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.”

The fourth, and final, way to success: just be kind.
