Word!

"Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts" -Robert Fulghum

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue" -Proverbs 18:21

With our words we can make or break, paralyze or propel, build up or tear down, defend or destroy, heal or kill... we often talk about the detriment of speaking negative words. I fully believe that we should absolutely think consequentially about the words we speak before we speak. Most recently the thing that has been biting at me is the responsibility we have to speak positive, truthful, uplifting and encouraging words. I greatly appreciate that I have had people say something to me that has changed the course of my life in a positive way, have you? I want to build people up, propel them in their dreams, defend them, heal their hurts, lead them to the truth (Jesus!), and change the course of their lives for the better with my words...
