So today I have been really praying about the power of my words. How much of an impact they can have on others. How much other's words have an impact on me. It is amazing how one little comment can turn around a friendship, how one compliment can make you crave more, how one little sarcastic remark can make you shrivel and hurt. The impact they carry.
There is a quote that says "The words spoken back to us are echo's of what we speak". That really hit me hard, the way people speak to me is generally a reflection of the way I speak to them.
Then, of course my mind ran away and left my feet dragging, what if I spoke with the authority of Christ? What if I spoke with a voice that could move mountains, instead of constantly speaking on my own petty things. If I spoke the very words Jesus would speak. If I was not only His hands and feet, but his very words.
Think before you speak. Speak words of Godly encouragement and love. Speak the very words Jesus would say. Be His translator.
Love through His love.
