This weapon has caused more pain, more destruction than any other, and in the wrong hands is

by far the most dangerous weapon in the world.

THE TONGUE

The tongue has been described: as a SWORD, because the words we

say can really cut people

because we can spread lies about people or take

jokes too far.

THE TONGUE

The tongue has been described: as

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE as rumours and gossip are

spread and can get out of control.

THE TONGUE

What we say has the power to completely crush someone

else and take aware their self-confidence and leave scars

Our words also have the power for good. They can

build people up, make them feel valued, protected and

Words Make a Difference

Think about your own life. Think about how words have affected you,• The person who said you were ugly or stupid• The one who told you were incompetent and could

never do anything right• The person who told you that you had talent• The person who called you a person of character• The "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" from a parent or

the lack of those words from someone you cared about.

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
