Speak softly

“Let everything you say be so wholesome that an opponent will be put to shame because he will have nothing bad to say about us.”
Titus 2:8 CJB

When we use good speech and say upright decent things, people will not have anything bad to say about you!

“A gentle response deflects fury, but harsh word makes tempers rise.”
Proverbs 15:1 CJB

When we answer each other with kind and gentle words, it will deflect fights and not stir up anger!

“Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the taste and healing for the body.”
Proverbs 16:24 CJB

Let’s be believers who pray before we speak and are careful of being harsh towards people! We don’t have to act like defenseless wimps! But we really need to speak decently and kindly toward others, even our enemies!
Have a blessed day watching what we say!
