"There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health."
Proverbs 12:18
This caught my eye today, I think because it's good lesson for me as well. :) Always good to remember that even if we know we can win the argument, the best outcome is not to have it in the first place. God wants us to be healers, not those who harm.
Today, when we are tempted to complain or argue or say something unkind, let's take a step back and remember that the tongue of the wise is health, not the piercings of a sword. Let's say something that will make people smile rather than something that will hurt, even a little. Even good and righteous correction can be done gently. Let's word to be clean and kind in collaboration with God.
