Week 6 | Day 3 – Our Words Matter (Little Honey)

The Bible tells us that gentle words bring life, but harsh words crush the spirit.

That means our words have power.

Words can encourage someone.

Words can make someone feel safe and loved.

But words can also hurt, even when we don’t mean for them to.

“Gentle words bring life, but harsh words crush the spirit.”

Proverbs 15:4

Are your words helping or hurting others?

Today’s Truth:

My words matter.

Words can make people feel happy.

Words can make people feel sad.

God wants me to use kind words that help others feel loved.

Prayer:

Dear God, Help me use kind words. Help my words bring love. Amen.

Activity:

Play “Kind Words or Not?”  Say a few example phrases (kind and unkind) and ask your child to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down for each one.

Optional Supplies or Resources: Bible, Journal

Looking Ahead:

Tomorrow, we’ll learn that love isn’t just something we say, it’s something we do, and we’ll talk about how our actions show what we believe.
