Hey Girls,
So a lot of life has happened to ya girl this week. A lot of life has been spoken into ya girl this week. I love that phrase, speak life. As if words that we say can evoke life into someone else when they may have been experiencing death before.
I've always been a wordy person. (hence the blog) but it's only been recently that I realized just how much power our words can hold. I watched a Bible study on YouTube a few months back when I was going through a rough time and it was like I could feel the life being literally breathed back into me. It was such a powerful moment that I've never experienced before. It was then I learned that words do have the power to make us feel things, and we are responsible for wielding that power.
A few nights ago, a friend came up to me and told me thank you for something I had said to her a little while back. I stared at her in bewilderment, not sure what she was even talking about. I couldn't remember any grand gestures of encouragement or any handwritten notes I'd performed in the past few days. She went on to explain an incident I only remembered when she told in great detail, and even then I didn't think what I had said was some powerful speech.
But she did.
Ladies, think about that for a moment. Something I didn't even remember saying resonated with her so deeply that she came up to me two days later to thank me. Do you understand how powerful our words can be? We have been given the ability to speak life into people. The ability to give love, the display kindness, and show Jesus without even realizing we're doing so.
I want you to think back to a time where someone said something that made your day. Was it in passing? A small comment? Something the other person may not even remember?
That's the best kind in my opinion.
When someone says something for the sole intention of they believe it's true its so much more powerful than when they're trying to make the other person feel good. When someone is saying something for the sole purpose of it feels right, rather than trying to build themselves up it speaks life. When someone tells you something for the sole reason of they care about you, it shows Jesus more than any methodical approach ever could.
We find life in the little moments, the little words, the things people don't even realize they say.
That's so cool to think about. And it should be something we pursue with great care, because our words are powerful powerful things.
