For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. (Mt 12:34-35, NIV)
Do you believe that YOUR words can make a difference?
Do you believe that YOUR words show who you are?
I hope so; because they do. Your words have the power to change people's moods, feelings, and even their direction. You have the power within you to either build someone up and encourage them, or to do the opposite and tear them down and destroy them. The choice, the power is in you.
I also shows your heart, where you are spiritually and maturity wise. "love is patient, Love is kind...." ring a bell. It should. Are our words patient, are they kind? How did Jesus speak, what did He say. It's amazing even when Jesus reprimanded someone, at the same time He would encourage them.
Did you know you could change someone's day by mere words, or you could ruin it. You have the power. don't be fooled by the old saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never heart me", because it's not true. Words to hurt, words do damage, words do destroy. The power (choice) is within your power, so what will you do.
Food for thought for the day, Have a great day, Chris
