This is such a powerful and timely reminder. I completely agree that words carry so much weight, more than we sometimes realize in the moment we say them. I love how you connected it with scripture too, especially Proverbs 15:1; I’ve seen firsthand how a gentle word can calm even the most heated situations. Thank you for sharing this reflection; it really made me pause and think about how I’ve been using my own words lately. May we all continue to grow in wisdom and grace with what we say.
Amen. Thanks a lot for the comment. I'm glad you read and it helped in a way. More grace.
