In proverbs we read,
"Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing."
Proverbs 12:18.
As Christians we need to be cautious about what we say. Words quite often hurt more than any physical pain. Our words must bring healing to those around us.
When dealing with others be they from outside our faith or fellow believers in Christ Jesus, we should always remember what Jesus said,
“So in everything, do to others
what you would have them do to you,
for this sums up the Law and the Prophets”
Matthew 7:12.
