“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is a saying that many of us recited from childhood to adulthood. But is it true? Do words have the power to affect us?
Wrong choices of words bore destructive effects on society. Many quarrels and arguments, murders, fights, divorces, suicides and much unhappiness have been directly caused by the choice of someone’s words. Wrong choices of words not only affect others but it also affects those who speak them. And normally it originates from the mouths of those who harbor bitterness.
A bitter person is a storehouse of negative and discouraging words; bringing ruins to themselves, while attempting to run down others. Mind what spew from your mouths!
On the flip side, positive and encouraging words can inspire, create happiness, promote good relationships and help produce stability and peace. Kind words are good medicine, but deceitful words brings harm (Proverbs 15:4).
Words do have power—choose and use them carefully and wisely!
