Thoughts in December

It’s getting close to the end of reading through the Bible this year. Today I’m reading in 2 Corinthians, the second letter that Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, and it made me think about the power of words, even in a letter. When was the last time you really contemplated the power of the words you write? Power to lift a person’s spirit up, power to wound and hurt—wounds through words that could last a person’s lifetime, or power to heal and help a person take the power of words said in the past and lift the burden of them from their soul.

When I write, I need to remember that I’m welding a powerful sword as I type words from a keyboard, or write a note and post it in the mail. So do you! So with everything you write, be sure love for each person permeates the message you share.
