Do you know that type of person? They can’t quite open their mouth without something coming out that just grates against you… or perhaps even hurts. It’s like when they start speaking shards of glass come out and cut up everything around them.

 

I don’t know why some people are like that. I’m sure there are enough books out there to explain why. But I know what the Bible says. In Proverbs 12:18 it says that “reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

 

Wow… that says that we have a choice. Our words can either tear someone down, or build them up. I choose build them up. What about you?

 

At least that’s how I see it,
