What if the biggest thing shaping your relationship with your sibling…
isn’t what you do—but what you say?
You don’t have to try very hard to tear someone down.
It can happen in a sentence.
A joke.
A tone.
A quick reaction.
Especially at home.
Because let’s be real…
it’s easy to say things to your siblings you wouldn’t say to anyone else.
“Relax.”
“You’re so annoying.”
“That’s dumb.”
And just like that distance starts growing where closeness was supposed to be.
But here’s the truth:
Your words carry more power than you think.
They can:
💛 Build confidence
💛 Strengthen trust
💛 Create connection
Or…
They can shut someone down completely.
God didn’t call you to just “not be mean.”
He called you to speak life.
That means:
✔ Noticing the good
✔ Encouraging on purpose
✔ Choosing kindness—even when you’re frustrated
Because the way you speak today…
is shaping the relationship you’ll have years from now.
And the crazy part?
You have more influence in your home than you think.
Try this today 👇
Say ONE thing to your sibling that builds them up.
Something real that says, “I See you.”
Watch what happens.
📖 SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 18:21 (AMP)
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.”
