Words Hurt explores the lasting impact of the things we say to children and how words can shape or scar a life. Through her own journey of loss, hurt, and healing, the author shares how harmful words spoken over her as a child affected her self-esteem, identity, and sense of worth. From painful comments by relatives to the wisdom and faith instilled by her grandmother, she illustrates how words can either wound deeply or build strength. This chapter is a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and self-discovery in overcoming past pain. It encourages adults to speak life, love, and truth into the hearts of children, and reminds readers that healing is possible when we choose God’s perspective over the hurtful words of others.
