When you speak you have the power to tear down someone, build them up, or provide healing. If you are a Christian, then your words are the words of an ambassador for God. They hold power, mean, and representation. It is important that we are careful with our words. It is important that we speak wisely.
Our words reveal our righteousness or evil in our heart. If you have a redeemed heart, then it is your responsibility to speak love. It takes time and practice to restrain your lips or when to be silent. It requires self-control over your mind and tongue. To be able to speak wisely is a gift.
Words have a magnitude of power. No matter how you use your words it will lead to understanding. People will understand you better or the situation. You need to hold yourself accountable. When you abuse words, then you need to say that you are sorry and mean it. It is amazing how an apology can defuse a situation or bring healing to a hurting heart.
The hardest part may be yielding your words to God. You can make sure you have the last word or you can give God the chance to reveal a truth. You have to work at refining your words so that they are pure. If you have a heart that seeks God, then you life and words should reflect that. You have to back your words with your actions and body language.
Your life is a journey. It is with God or it is alone. No one escapes the affects of the power of words. All you can do is allow God to heal your wounds caused by words and embrace the truth. God's Words are true and give hope and love. If you learn how to speak by following Jesus, then you will use your words to encourage others to do the same. Wise words are precious jewels.
