We continued our video series at Breakfast Club based on the Book of Proverbs, called Smart Stuff. Today we talked about how our words can hurt other people whether we are talking to them specifically or even about them (like gossip.)
Proverbs 25:18 (NLT)
Telling lies about others is as harmful as hitting them with an ax, wounding them with a sword, or shooting them with a sharp arrow.
One of the best strategies for stopping negative talk in our lives is to intentionally use positive, encouraging words.
Your challenge this week:
Choose three people—family members, friends, or classmates—and find a way to communicate something positive to them this week. Send a text, write a letter, post a comment online, or express your thoughts verbally. See how your words impact those people’s lives, and consider making it a habit to say or write something encouraging to at least one person each day.
