A World of Hateful Words

Daily writing prompt
Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?

A world of hateful words is the worst to live in. That’s because hateful words eventually become hateful actions. Hateful behaviors bring about bloodshed. Then people are turned into dead bodies. There is a much better way to use words.

Using words to enhance people’s lives with heartwarming kindness has become rare. We’ve forgotten the healing and reconciling power of kind words. Speak and post some today.

An unsubstantiated claim
Is not the same
As truth.
An unsubstantiated accusation
Is not the same
As proof.
Don’t be a blamer
And a shamer.
Be a proclaimer
Of God’s love and mercy.
Speaking truth compassionately.
Can help set captives free.
(John 8:32)

Make room
In your life
For kindness,
Give no room
To rumors.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
