[Eric Calhoun]

I agree with this one, and this is the last one for the round.  It's on
words.

USE YOUR WORDS TO GIVE LIFE AND INSPIRE

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it
will eat its fruit" Proverbs
18:21

Words have the power to motivate or destroy, energize or deflate,
inspire, or create despair. Many a
successful executive can remember the time their father
failed to give affirmation to them as a child. The result was either over
achievement to prove their
worth, or under achievement to prove he was right.

Many a wife has lost her ability to love because of a critical husband.
Many a husband has left a
marriage
because of words of disrespect and ungratefulness. Stories abound to the
power of words. There are
just as many stories of those who have encouraged, challenged
and comforted with words that made a difference in their life.

Jesus knew the power of words. He used parables to convey his principles
of the Kingdom of
God.
He used words of forgiveness and mercy. He used words to challenge. He
used words to inspire His
disciples to miraculous faith.

Do your words give life? Do they inspire and challenge others to
greatness? Who does God want you to
encourage through your words today? Affirm someone
close to you today. Amen and Amen.
