Proverbs 12:18
18 There is one whose rash words
are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings
healing.
*There is so much power in what we say and how we say it. Ever wonder why someone reacts to your words in a manner you didn't expect? Perhaps it is the wording u chose and the tone in which u provided. This doesn't necessarily due to negative usage...sometimes we give the wrong impression bc u have not learned how to cater your communication towards different audiences. For instance, the manner in which u talk to a child is not how u should speak to an adult. The way u make talk to your partner is not how u should speak to another person of the same sex. Perhaps u may have down to earth mannerisms that should be used for those with the same behaviors, while others may require more TLC when u speak with them. The best way to know how to provide healing through your words rather then strife is through seeking God...ask Him how to talk to ppl; examine His mannerisms in how he conducted His conversations. The Father tells us to walk in love, but we often try to add are own personal touch of attitude or bluntness to drive a point home. However, that is not always necessary. Communication is definitely an art form, and there are so many ways to paint the picture. Let's go beyond using primary colors aka speaking in one consistent manner, and let's learn to diversify our color palette. ;-)
