Words

"The power of life and death are in the tongue" This words are the truest and most powerful in the Bible. If we only understood the power of our words on others we would be slower to speak and quicker to bite our tongues.

The power of our words can either build someone up or tear him down. I think it may be that we believe our words are RIGHT and that they need to be heard and taken heed...or something will not turn out correctly. How short sighted and self absorbed we can be about our words.

If only parents could relax and remember that their children are at the beginning of their experiences and that mistakes will happen and those mistakes will have their own consequences...they do not need to hear unkind words or words of judgement when they do.

If only husbands and wives can understand that some words, kind and hurtful are stored in a secret vault within the heart and are never forgotten.

Words should speak and instill life, not death. The should not be spoken if there is no good to come from them. They are man's most powerful weapon and thus should be used with discretion.
