The Power of Words

Our words have the power to heal and the power to destroy.  It takes much skill to be able to maintain a good balance in one’s speech of truth and grace.  As creatures who are made in the image of God, it is not suprising that our words have such great power.  God spoke the world into being, but many times we speak and tear it apart.  It is vital that we see our speech as a part of God’s redemptive plan to restore the entire cosmos and especially something so powerful as speech.
