DAY 64
Pleasant Words Are a Honeycomb
기원전 10~4세기 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
צוּף־דְּבַשׁ אִמְרֵי־נֹעַם מָתוֹק לַנֶּפֶשׁ
📜 THE VERSE
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and healing to the bones.
💡 TL;DR
The older I get, the more I feel how a word can heal or kill.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
The words that left my mouth today — were they honey or thorns to someone's heart?
📝Reflection
The older I get, the more I feel how a word can heal or kill. A warm word costs nothing, yet to the one who receives it, it is a day's worth of medicine. For too long I was busy being right, and hoarded my kindness. Only now do I see that a warm word carries a person farther than a correct one.
