Sweet words from scripture served up alongside a "cuppa" with a tad of honey and a splash of milk, yummy heart-shaped cookies (thx Wynellen) and an open Bible.
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and heart to the body. (Proverbs 16:24, ESV) NIV describes those gracious words as sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Other versions use different adjectives: Good words, (Brenton Septuagint); Kind words, (NLT); Pleasant words, (Berean); speech of the wise, Aramaic; Well ordered words Douay-Rheims. Pleasant/Pleasantness used in 19 versions & kind used in 3.
Regardless of the translation it's easy to get the idea.
Today my focus is own "kind" words---spoken from the heart. Heart-shaped.
Like honey--sweet to the taste and good for your health. (Good News Translation)
May the Lord use my words to others as sweet to the spirit & body.
Words of love on Valentine's Day and every day.
