Words are Powerful!

Words are POWERFUL! They are like a double edged sword. They can be helpful, encouraging, uplifting, healing and even lifesaving in the mouth of an honest and truthful person. However, in the mouth of a deceitful liar they can be cruel, misleading, detrimental, hurtful and soul shattering. 

This is what the bible says about the tongue in Jacob (James) 3:9-10:

9 With this we bless the Lord and Father and with this we curse people, those who have been made according to the likeness of God, 10 from this mouth come forth blessing and curse, it ought not be, my brothers, that these things happen like this

There is power in the tongue...for out of it comes life and death. We need to choose our words wisely for they are the very essence of how we will live of lives. What do your words say about you? Do you try to encourage people around you or do you “play devil’s advocate" and be the voice of doom and gloom? 

Parents listen up...the words you use to speak to and about your children are the very words that are building their self-esteem...be it high or low. What you say in the heat of a moment can take your child years to overcome...if they ever do. God trusted us to raise our children to grow up to be like Y'shua. How can they have unconditional love for others if they do not receive it from you?

So before you “blowing off steam” or “setting someone straight” stop, think and choose words that will reflect who you want to be. 

Have a blessed and word reflecting day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home. {{{giggles & hugs}}}
