Words Are Important

Words are important. They can change the direction and destiny of your life. Words spoken by faith from your heart can receive God's salvation in Christ. Consider each day how important your words are.

A man said to his friend, "I just say what I think." The friend said, "Well, I hope you have a clean mind, because a lot of dirt could come out of your mouth." Words express what's in your heart. If you listen long enough, a man will tell you what's in his heart.

Your words may strengthen others or discourage them. Your words make a difference in your life and in others. Words of parents can encourage children or cause doubt and fear. A husband's words can affirm his wife or cause conflict. A friend's words can comfort or wound.

Words are like a match. It can start a fire to warm a house or cook a meal. Also, a match can start a fire to destroy houses and land, as well as taking lives. Words are powerful. God hears your words. Your words are important.

"For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, 
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." 
Romans 10:10

"Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD my strength and my Redeemer."
Psalm 19:14
