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

Our words can build up or tear down.

The Bible reminds us that words are powerful.

They can encourage, heal, and help, or they can hurt deeply.

Choosing loving words is one way we show God’s love to others.

Prayer:

Dear God, Help me think before I speak. Teach me to use words that help others. Amen.

Activity:

Think about something you said recently.  Write one sentence you could say differently using kinder words.

Optional Supplies or Resources: Bible, Journal, Pen or Pencil

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.
