What Should You Say? Is It Really Important

Is it important what you say to other people, does it really make a difference? I believe it does. Most of us are very aware of the dangers of physical abuse, yet how many of us are careless and clumsy in the way we speak? Many people may become hard-skinned when receiving hard comments, but that might not be all that happens. When a situation is dangerous we would run from it or take cover. We might build up a wall or strong fence around it and put up signs to warn people away. When someone is speaking abusively we will either walk away or put up our defences, making opening up and being honest very difficult. If this continued the person could become increasingly shut down and retreat into their own world.

It opened my eyes to realise how harsh my words could be when
I saw a recording of myself on video some time ago. I was appalled at the way I was speaking to my children and vowed that from then on I would treat them with the same respect that I would an adult. I consciously decided that the words I spoke to them would be positive, even if I needed to correct them. My relationship with them improved dramatically after that and I found ways to vent my anger and frustrations in private.

Many a relationship has been saved or destroyed by words. How healing words of comfort and encouragement can be that strengthen the recipient. In a similar way, prayer can bring great strength and comfort when said in faith. These are the kinds of prayers that see results.
