We

We define each other.
Through our words and actions we say who each person respectfully is. How powerful is a word? Spoken? Typed? What are we saying to each other? So many times, when saying things we are talking about ourselves or protecting ourselves not realizing that through our words the listener is defined.

Here is a picture of my son, picking flowers. At his age, my words are making him. I pray that God leads me. That careless words will not flow out.

James 3:6 (The Message)

5-6It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.
