Words.
Power.
Stronger than a fist.
Impact.
A wrecking ball
or
a mason.
What will your words do?
Build up
or
tear down?
Words aren’t just
noise
wasted breath
nor
are they instantly cast aside.
Our mouths, our words are
either tools of
destruction
or
construction.
There’s not really an in-between.
Even though we think there is when we
think about our words.
But.
When we are thinking about
the words that someone else said
our heart puts it in
one of two categories.
Destruction
or
construction.
Your words, my words
they matter a whole lot more than we know.
To be careless with words is to be reckless with hearts.
So the question is:
before you
type the comment
say the joke
yell your annoyance
or speak from rude
is it worth the pause?
Suddenly,
the pause is more powerful
than the words.
The pause is where the decision happens.
The pause is where hearts are won and where hearts are lost.
Ignorance lives here.
Impatience gloats of the scars left.
Irrational waves it’s banner as the ruling authority.
Irascible boasts of it’s destruction.
It’s time to regain control of the pause.
Time to build up.
That means allowing
our hearts to be led
so that our words
build up.
It’s time to stop and think…
and then speak.
Words have power –
but it all begins
with
the
pause.
