Proverbs 12:18 Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 15:4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
We can't control what others say about us, but we can control what we believe. It may be hard to let the words roll of your back and develop a "shell" but instead of believing in those words it time to believe what you know is true.
Many times we have no "filter" on what comes out of our mouths, but we should always think about if our words can be hurtful to those we are saying them to. Life taking words or life giving words?? I choose to use life giving words. Think about what I am saying, always put a positive spin on things.
Ephesians 4:29 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.
Words have power - what power does the words coming out of your mouth have: life taking or life giving??
