The difference “a word” makes

 

A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25: 11

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 10: 11

The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15: 4

  1. Verbalize your CONFIDENCE in them

 

 

  1. Affirm the IMPACT their life has had
