Positive Quote for the Week-Speak with Love

There is no way that you can express unconditional adoration for another person if your tongue is as sharp as a razor blade, Proverbs 12:18. It will eventually take a toll on their self-esteem which will create unnecessary tension in your relationship resulting in complete emotional disconnect.

Some of the things that can help prevent you from speaking harshly when angry are:

Meditate on scripture-Scripture is one of the best calming mechanisms because it stays engrained in your heart. Passages like Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” It will resonate in your spirit and help you navigate those angry emotions.

Give yourself a moment-Don’t just blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind in a fit of rage, take a moment to think before you speak. God is clear when He states in James 1:19 and it states, “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”

Give a signal-Let the person know when you’re about to get to your boiling point by giving them a heads up (a signal). You can say something like “I’m at the point where I might say something I’ll regret, please give me some space.”

The primary take away from wanting to diffuse a hostile situation is that you don’t want to say something that you will regret. Ask yourself “Is what I am angry about going to affect me two months down the road?” If the answer is no then don’t spend energy arguing about something that isn’t beneficial for anyone involved.

Scriptures on anger

Proverbs 14:29 “He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.”

Psalm 37:8 “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.”

James 1:20 “for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

Ephesians 4:26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath.”

Proverbs 19:11 “The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression.”
