Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. For His lovingkindness is everlasting. A joyful heart makes a cheerful face. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb. They make a person happy and healthy.
Careless words stab like a sword.
But wise words bring healing. A gentle answer will calm a person's anger. But an unkind answer will cause more anger. I am submitting these particular verses because they help me to teach my girls how to be Godly daughters and future Godly wives and mothers. In the world of bringing new converts to Christ we are reminded that one plants the seed, another waters it and another brings in the harvest.
