His Word

Day 289 – Proverbs 15:1

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1

When you are so consumed with bitterness inside, just take your time to rest and pause for a while. Wait until you can answer other people gently. Do not speak or talk if you are still at the peak of your emotions. Go to a place where you can be alone and connect to God instead. Release to Him what you feel and know that He cares for you. Please avoid releasing harsh words because it stirs up anger, and you’ll find it hard to face the damages you’ve created to someone’s heart. Choose to control yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, and He will give you the grace you need.

May you stop releasing harsh words to other people.
