Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Our words have the unique ability to cause great joy or great sadness. With our words we can lift someone's spirit to the highest heights or lower it to the lowest depths.
Our words are very powerful. The right words can bring peace to warring enemies and the wrong words can start a new war.
James wrote that the tongue can spread gossip like wildfire and we are admonished to tame our tongues. We should not be praising God and hurting others at the same time with our words.
Let us strive to let our words be gracious, sweet and healing.
