Speak pleasant words!

Don't just let this simple verse go in one ear and out the other!



Proverbs 16:24



24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.



We live in a day it seems where in a days time you hear too much negativity. From the news to the work place and even in our homes. Why do we focus so much on what is negative and many times hurtful? God is giving us some sound advice here to make our days much better. Not only will they be better but I believe it is the way God wants us to treat each other...with love!



Honeycomb is sweet from what I understand. God tells us in the first part of this verse when we speak pleasant words it is sweet! Kind words make the sould feel good. It brings healing to others. Think about it! Have you ever been having a terrible day and out of the blue someone comes up to you and says something nice. It made you feel so good and it healed your day! We need more of this!



Of course the most pleasant words of all are telling someone about Jesus! What He has done for every single person on this earth. Placing His body on the cross for you and for me so we may have eternal life if we trust in Him. Now that will bring sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones...amen?



So make someones day today and speak some pleasant words...let's make it a habit everyday!
