Words of Life

You Have Them!

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” John 1:1-4 NIV

“We are like books, most people only see our cover, the minority read the introduction, and many will believe the critics. Few will know our content.” Unknown

Have you felt or thought if you pay a compliment to another it takes away from you? Like a generous slice of pie, we’ve less pie. Do you know what would encourage someone but you let the moment pass?

You have the words of life. Another astounding, spectacular, and splendid responsibility.

What words do you say to yourself? It starts there. The harder you are on yourself, the harder you will be with others.

What words do you say to your family?

What words do you say to your coworkers?

What words do you say to the customer service rep? Waitress? Grocery clerk?

What words do you say to the person who belittles you?

What words do you say to your Father in Heaven?

The words of life can heal. The words of life can motivate. The words of life can inspire, encourage and bring wisdom. They cost nothing and the Father will give you the words if you ask. What investment costs nothing but rewards so generously? Our Father with His Words of Life.

Musings

Do you remember the Bible verses that have motivated, comforted, challenged, and inspired you? Life and light. Has someone shed light on an overwhelming problem? Problem exposed by a light giver. Did someone support you at your lowest? Renewed Life. Our words can save a life. Those who work suicide hotlines know this well.

Prayer

Dear Father,

Your Son taught us how to pray and to start with, “Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” The Word created the universe and gives life. Help us to use this power to create positive changes in ourselves and others. To build a life, a life that honors You.

Every encounter is a holy encounter.

Thank you for Your Words of Life.

Amen.
