The Power of Words
Words have power. Words that are backed by kindness and spoken in love and through love make a difference. These soft words turn away wrath. These words of knowledge are used correctly – to heal and not to maim. These wise words offer life.
Sacrifice is nothing. Actions are nothing. Correction offers nothing. The only things worth anything are those that are rooted in Love, released through Love and grown by Love.
The Lord created everything – Love created everything. It is wrong to believe that He does not hold it all, STILL, in the palm of His hand.
The Lord hears the prayers of the upright – those that seek His will, renew their thoughts with His Word, and choose His ways. Judgment will come to the unrighteous – those too focused on self to notice God or others.
