Words certainly matter

Proverbs 18:4 “The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.” A person’s words are often much more powerful than their intended affect, especially when spoken in anger and the either intended or unintended result can be devastating to the recipient.  Words of encouragement and wisdom can be easily not recognized as the value they possess.  One must always recognize the value of words and apply that value to both themselves and others.  Be careful in both giving and receiving the content of words.
