Loving with Words




💬 Words That Heal

“There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” — Proverbs 12:18 (AMP)

Words are never neutral. They either build or break, bless or bruise, heal or harm. A careless word can cut deeper than a blade, but a wise word—spoken with love and grace—can mend what was once shattered.

Many carry invisible wounds from words spoken in anger, judgment, or rejection. These wounds don’t always fade with time. But there is hope: Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1). His love restores what harsh words have damaged.

🕊️ The Power of the Tongue

  • Words can shape identity and destiny.
  • Words can either reinforce shame or release healing.
  • Words can either echo the enemy’s lies or declare God’s truth.

That’s why Scripture urges us to speak only what builds others up (Ephesians 4:29). Every conversation is an opportunity to be a vessel of healing.

🌱 Speak Life, Not Wounds

  • Choose words that affirm, not accuse.
  • Speak gently, especially when correction is needed.
  • Let your tongue be guided by wisdom, not impulse.

Healing takes time—but it begins with love. And love often begins with a word.

🙏 A Prayer for Today

Lord, help me to be mindful of my words.
Let my tongue be an instrument of healing, not harm.
Teach me to speak with wisdom, grace, and compassion.
Use my voice to build up, bless, and bring peace.
Amen.

May your words today be like balm to the weary, encouragement to the discouraged, and light to those in darkness. Speak life—and watch healing begin.

What are your peace stealers?

🤝 Bearing One Another’s Burdens “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NKJV) Life is not meant to be carried alone. God, in His wisdom, calls us into community—not just for celebration, but for support. To bear one another’s burdens is to step into someone else’s struggle with compassion, patience, and grace. But to do this well, we must first understand our own vulnerabilities. 🎯 Know Your Weak Points—Guard Your Peace The enemy has studied you. He knows what rattles your peace, what triggers your frustration, and what tempts you to react instead of respond. Be aware of your peace-stealers. Recognize when you’re vulnerable. Guard your heart with wisdom and prayer. And just as you learn your own weaknesses, learn the weaknesses of those around you—not to exploit them, but to protect them. 💞 Help, Don’t Hinder We’re all wired differently. What bothers you may not bother someone else—and vice versa. That’s why empath...

Only Believe

Only Believe - In the scripture a man came to Jesus and said, "My little daughter is very sick. She is close to death. Will you come to my home and pray for her"? Jesus agreed. But along the way he kept getting stopped, one interruption after another. Finally word came back to him saying, "No need to come. You've waited too late. The little girl has died". The people were upset, very distraught. But Jesus said to them, Luke 8:50, "Don't be afraid. If you will only believe the little girl will be well". Notice the phrase, "Only believe". Jesus went to the home, prayed for the little girl and she came back to life. But you too may be facing situations that seem impossible. In the natural you don't see how you could get well, how you could overcome the addiction, how your family could ever be restored. But God is saying to you what he said to them. "If you will only believe, I will turn the situation around. If you only believe, bre...
