Words possess incredible power to either build up or tear down those around us. Like feathers scattered in the wind, once spoken, our words cannot be taken back and their impact spreads far beyond our control. In our digital age, this reality becomes even more significant as our words can reach wider audiences than ever intended. The book of Proverbs teaches that gentle responses have the power to de-escalate conflict and bring healing to tense situations. As followers of Christ, we are called to be salt and light in the world, using our speech to preserve what is good and illuminate truth. Every conversation presents us with a choice to influence others positively or negatively, making it essential that we choose words filled with grace, wisdom, and love.
