Gentle word


Proverbs 15:1

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

This verse really hit me hard as I read it recently.  I find myself often getting frustrated with my six year old when he does not listen.  It is sometimes hard not to give a harsh word but the truth of the matter is, it rarely helps. 

Think about times that you have had a choice to use a gentle answer over a harsh word.  Which way tends to turn out better? 

Today I want to keep things short and simple.  I want to simply remind each of us to watch the words we pick.  In doing so, you share the love of Christ with others.
