When Words Cut Deep (Proverbs 12:18)

Your Daily Bible Verse
About this episode

Today’s Bible Verse:
"The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."Proverbs 12:18

Our words carry incredible power—power to build up or tear down, to heal or to wound. Proverbs 12:18 reminds us that careless speech can cut deeply, but words spoken with wisdom and grace can bring healing and restoration.
