Chapter 8Words That Encourage Or Destroy |
|||
WORDS, like fire, require wise management to keep their usefulness from turning to destructiveness. To repress a harsh answer, to confess a fault, and to stop in the midst of self defence, are three golden threads with which domestic happiness is woven. Harmony will take the place of discord where self-restraint in words is practised. "A soft answer turneth away wrath." We are exhorted to "confess our faults one to another." God will be our defender if we are in the right in the use of words. Our Master's example should be a source of strength. "He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth."
