Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. (Proverbs 12:18 NLT)
People's words are either "healing" or hurting those around them. If you find yourself with people that are constantly making "cutting remarks" towards you and/or others, it's time for you to make some better friends. We need to hang around the "wise" because they will make our lives better...just by listening to what they have to say!
