Words have the power to heal or hurt. In this video excerpt from T.D. Jakes, he talks about verbal abuse and its crushing effects.

His message is primarily directed toward spouses and parents but is applicable to everyone. Everyone deals with anger, but it’s what we do when we are angry that matters. Verbal abuse can last a lifetime. What one says in a moment of rage is rarely forgotten.

Verbal abuse seeks to destroy the other’s dignity and self-respect. It uses a person’s vulnerabilities and weaknesses against them. It knows what to say that will hurt the most – and says it. Verbal abuse belittles “the one you’re called to build up.”

Remember the words you say will bear fruit. Seek to build up, not tear down.
