LANGUAGE THAT KILLS PEACE.
Words can heal hearts or destroy relationships.
If you desire peace in your marriage, family, church, and friendships, avoid words that humiliate, discourage, and hurt.
AVOID THESE PEACE-KILLING STATEMENTS:
❌ “You are useless.”
❌ “You are stupid.”
❌ “You never do anything right.”
❌ “What is wrong with you?”
❌ “This is all your fault.”
❌ “You always mess things up.”
❌ “You never listen.”
❌ “I do not care.”
❌ “I do not need you in my life.”
❌ “Just stop talking.”
❌ “I am tired of you.”
❌ “Leave me alone.”
Proverbs 15:1 (KJV)
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
Correct without insulting.
Disagree without disrespecting.
Speak with love, even when you are angry.
Remember: You may win an argument with harsh words and lose a relationship that matters to you.
Let your words bring healing, love, understanding, and peace.
Choose your words wisely. Be an instrument of peace!
