Have you ever stopped to think about how powerful your words are? Yes, believe it or not, your words hold power. They evoke emotions, both positive and negative. However, one thing is certain: When we’re around people who encourage us, we can’t help but feel better about ourselves. That’s why we naturally gravitate toward people like that. Their words lift us! Now flip that around: Do you think others see you as someone who uses your words to encourage? The point isn’t to condemn or come down on you if you aren’t always using your words wisely. Rather, it’s to challenge you to remember that your words matter. After all, if people matter to God, shouldn’t they matter to us, too? We can show that in our words!

This week, pay attention to your words. How many times do you find yourself using them to build others up? And what areas can you identify where your words may need some improvement?
