Words… they can heal or hurt. When we talk about ways to make others feel safe, we need to consider our words. Are they positive or are they negative? Do our words lift others up or do they tear down? The best available numbers show that we use about 16,000 words per day.
Wow! 16,000 words per day? What are those words used for? Praise, adoration, gossip, self-glorification, slander, instruction, discipline, encouragement, prayer? I have always heard that God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. What would we do if we didn’t get all our 16,000 words said in a day? Sometimes, the best thing is to hold our words.
