Words can be beautifully written. They can be arranged in such a way to move one to tears. They have power, whether they are written or spoken. If they rhyme, they sound poetic. If put to a beat, it is music. Words have power. People tend to forget that. Too often, words are just said, without thought. They are loosely muttered under a person's breath. If they are heard, they can ruin a person's day. If they are shouted to the world, they can change your life. If they are whispered, they can be an encouragement to press on.
God gave us words to use wisely. The Bible is proof that words can change lives. The right words to say are not usually the first ones we think of. But we have to be careful with our words.
There is that old cliche....
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
That is untrue. Completely and utterly false.
Words are a big deal.
Use them wisely.
