Part 9 - "The Wise Choose to Speak with Kindness"

Luke 6:43-45 NIV

“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

“Both the spoken and written word have POWER and the WISE choose to SPEAK with KINDNESS.”

Proverbs 15:1 NLT

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

Kind Words Reduce Tension

Proverbs 16:24 NLT

Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Proverbs 12:18 NLT

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.

Kind Words Promote Healing

Ephesians 4:29 NIV

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Proverbs 18:21 NLT

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
