Care should be taken about how we speak and the things we say. This is so important because of the fact that we interact with people a lot as we live out our daily lives. And the things we say and how we say them does affect their lives and our lives too. So what would you prefer, to be considered as a rash, rude, tongue lashing and insensitive speaker or as a kind, gentle, and comforting speaker? Consider these verses:
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
Please speak carefully.
