“These people honor with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” Matthew 15:8
” You are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” Matthew 15:11
” But the words you speak come from the heart.” Matthew 15:18
Words are incredibly powerful; they possess the ability to uplift and inspire or to hurt and damage deeply. Once we utter them, they linger in the minds of others, often creating lasting effects, both positive and negative. It’s crucial to pause and reflect before we speak, as our words can serve as encouragement, pushing someone to achieve their greatest potential, or they can lead others down a path of negativity and despair. Being mindful of the impact of our words is essential, especially in moments of anger, when emotions may cloud our judgment. Instead of reacting impulsively, we should seek the guidance of God and take a breath to ensure our speech aligns with our intentions. Ultimately, our words can either build strength and support within our relationships or lead to unnecessary harm and conflict among those we care about. Therefore, let us choose our words carefully, embracing the responsibility that comes with them, and striving to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and kindness. The Holy Spirit is our guide. Listen to Him and never allow words to just fly from our mouths in idle and dangerous ways. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
