LET'S DE-STRESS WITH OUR WORDS


"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..."
Proverbs 18:21 

HASN'T THERE BEEN days when someone spoke the very words we needed to hear?

Can't we recall times and situations when people eased our stress, simply by something they said? 

Surely, we can remember incidents when someone's unpleasant or offensive words left us sad and stressed.

Be not deceived, words are extremely powerful. They can heal, and they can hurt. Words can be priceless, and they can be painful. 
 
Proverbs, the Bible's book on life, teaches that "death and life are in the power of the tongue." 

Plain and simple, kind and considerate words can enhance life and give it great meaning; whereas harsh and heartless words can destroy life's joy and cause unbelievable stress.

Stress survivors uphold the power of words and the difference they can make. There's been many times when someone's soothing words chased our stresses away.

Again, be not deceived, for we can't know what powerful de-stress the tongue possesses . . . until we actually try it.



Peace I leave with you . . .

WORD POWER


"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..."
Proverbs 18:21 KJV

Have there been days when someone spoke the very words we needed to hear?

Can we recall times and places, and people who eased our stressed mind simply by what they said? As some folk often say, their words were a soothing balm to our bleeding heart.

Certainly, we can remember not-so-pleasant times when someone's ill and offensive words left us sad and stressed.

Be not deceived, words are extremely powerful. They can heal and they can hurt. Words can be priceless and they can be plentiful . . . and most of all, they can be pure-thee-painful.

Proverbs, the Bible's book on life, teaches that death and life hinges on the tongue. Plain and simple, kind and caring words can enhance and give life new meaning--whereas harsh and unkind words destroy the joy of life and almost always create deadly stresses.

The words in Colossians 4:6 admonishes that our speech "always be with grace..." See, One never knows the effect words might have on deeply-troubled souls who desperately need life-changing words to push stress straight from the heart.



Peace I leave with you . . .
