"There is one who speaks like the piercing of the sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health."
"This verse talks directly about the things we say. It says some people hurt others with what comes out of their mouths, but wise people use healing words. Do you want your words to stab people or bring them to healing? The choice is yours. Nobody can force you to say something. You have to think it and then open your lips to let it out. You can stop the message or change it anytime you want.
Think about what you said to people this week. Did you tease your little sister or talk back to your parents? Did you join other kids in making fun of a student at school? It's easy to say something but impossible to take it back. And while you can't take back words, you can work to make things better with people you may have hurt. Ask God to bring to mind people to whom you should apologize. Then pray you'll have the courage to make things right."
