Week 6 | Day 3 – Our Words Matter (Rooted 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:

Words reveal what’s in our hearts.

Our words often come from our emotions, especially when we’re tired, frustrated, or hurt.

God’s Word invites us to pause and choose words that reflect love instead of reaction.

Loving speech is a sign of growing maturity.

Prayer:

Dear God, Help me pause before I speak. Teach me to use words that bring life instead of harm. Amen.

Reflection Prompt:
Why do you think it can be harder to use gentle words when emotions are strong?

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.
