Proverbs teaches that healthy relationships do not happen by accident. They grow through intention, understanding, and the wisdom we choose to walk in each day.
Here are a few reminders to guide your relationships today:
1. Listen to understand
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding.” Proverbs 18:2
Slow down and truly hear the people around you. Understanding builds trust.
2. Speak words that bring life
“Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24
Your words can heal or your words can harm. Choose healing.
3. Be patient with others
“Good sense makes one slow to anger.” Proverbs 19:11
Patience creates room for grace. Grace creates room for growth.
4. Walk with the right people
“Walk with the wise and become wise.” Proverbs 13:20
Surround yourself with people who grow you, challenge you, and sharpen you.
5. Protect unity
