…DO NOT USE HARMFUL WORDS…
Words can leave a mark.
Once they’re spoken, you can’t take them back.
That’s why God tells us to be careful with what we say.
…ONLY HELPFUL WORDS…
A kind word can change someone’s whole day.
Look for words that encourage, comfort, or give hope.
Those are the words people remember.
…BUILD UP AND PROVIDE WHAT IS NEEDED…
Not everyone needs the same thing.
Sometimes it’s advice.
Sometimes it’s encouragement.
Sometimes it’s simply knowing they’re not alone.
…DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HEAR YOU…
Before you speak, think about
what your words will leave behind.
Will they bring someone closer to hope
or push them further away?
