The Power of Encouragement
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
