 Our Words

Our words is the way we communicate. What is the message? What are we sending out? What do you want? To bring someone closer or push them away. 

How do we speak to them?

What are you saying to you?

 “Speak to yourself like someone you love. Encourage yourself, motivate yourself, and uplift yourself with your words.” ...

Your words is your expression of what is in your heart. When you talk about someone. You express hate. If you bless someone you express your love. If I love you. I'll bless you. If I love ❤️ you I'll tell you how much I value you.

The Power of Words by M.G.

"Words can be positive or negative.
Words have power. The most common way we think of words and their power is their power to communicate, getting across ideas. But that is not the only power, nor the limit to the power of words.
The things you say can hurt and tear down, or they can heal and build up. We
can be encouraged by words or we can be discouraged, or even hurt by words.
The things you say and the things said to you have an effect. James says that
they have a steering, or a formative effect."

OUR WORDS IS TAKING US SOMEWHERE.

Where are we going?

Up or down.

Happy or sad.

Crazy 🤪 or sane.

Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

In relationships we have that struggle sometimes but never stop trying. We can stop trying to fix the other person and stop being hard on ourselves. Let yourself make mistakes you mean well and thats enough. Then the communication becomes beautiful.

(Quote)
    I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.
