A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. (NLT) -Proverbs 15:1 It's easy to say harsh words, yet so difficult to hear them. A gentle answer requires forethought and care. It is in these gentle answers where validation, empathy, and love are all conveyed and make a great impact on the receiver of these words. This is a skill that is learned over time and can arguably be an art. A challenge for the evening: take time to practice using gentle words with others.
