Are Your Words Hurting People?

Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, Ephesians 5:25-26

Many who have this problem probably aren’t reading devotions. Perhaps they aren’t aware their words hurt some people fairly close to them. The problem is not the words so much as their heart. 

If you are reading this and are close to a person whose words hurt you pray for them. Somehow they are wounded internally and they may not realize what they are doing. Verbal abuse is still abuse. You may not be getting hit physically but ugly hurtful words hurt you internally.

Make sure you are not guilty of hurtful words. The mouth can cause so much trouble. Be still before speaking. If you know someone who is a verbal abuser lift them up for healing if the wounded spirit that has led to this. Hurting people hurt people. 

PRAYER: Father God I love the ability to speak and may my mouth be used for your glory. I pray for ____________who needs to be healed in their heart. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
