When we speak to someone, our tone of voice carries more weight than we might think.
Even if our intentions are good, the way we say things can linger in someone's heart long after the words have been spoken. A harsh or careless tone can echo in their mind, replaying
moments that may hurt more than we ever intended. Those moments can be
jarring, leaving behind an emotional bruise that's hard to forget.
It's so important to be mindful of not just what we say, but how we say it.
The tone we use, the approach we take, and the words we choose can
either lift someone up or tear them down. Everyone you meet is carrying
something within them-struggles, fears, hopes-things we might never see.
So, in every conversation, choose to be kind. Speak with empathy and
warmth, because your words have the power to heal, to comfort, and to
show that you care. After all, the way we make others feel is often what
they remember the most.
Jesus said this, “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give
account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be
justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12.36-37 NKJV
