Words That Heal

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

Proverbs 16:24 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Your words have physical effects on the people around you. Pleasant words are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. That means your encouragement, your kindness, your gentle response can literally help someone feel better, body and soul.

Try This Today

Before every conversation today, ask yourself: 'Will my words be sweet or sour?' Choose one person and speak something specifically kind and honest to them. Not flattery. Real, pleasant words.
