Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)

To the tender-hearted soul, words can become

swords of great destruction. While joys, tender

kindness, an encouraging word, and Christ-centered

friendships can become Heavenly mountaintops of

refreshing like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

And in reality are not all precious souls tender-hearted?
