It is important to know that you can build or destroy with your words. You can wound and also heal with your words. Before you talk, check the gravity of your words. Don’t talk anything that enters your brain. Choose your words, stop causing emotional injuries to people with your words, rather let your words be filled with blessings, praises, words of encouragement and advice.
