MARCH 11~ TO SHEW FORTH HIS PRAISES: STICKS AND STONES

Proverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.  Although we said these words as kids to protect our feelings, they are not true.  Words can hurt you to your bones, even kill you mentally and spiritually.  But a word fitly spoken can strengthen, uplift, encourage, and brighten one’s day.  Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.
