Words can wound or they can bless
Pause, to think upon the value of words
They can wound or they can bless.
And even their impact upon yourself
Depends a lot on what you confess.
If you habitually speak of doubt and failure
And keep pondering why things are so,
Or focus upon your valley experiences
Then to that level you will go.
The apostle Paul spoke words of encouragement
Firmly believed in pressing towards his goal,
Thus forgetting the things that lay behind
Lifts the eternal value of the soul.
Let’s be careful of the words we use
And give more thought to the things we do.
Some could be failing to read their Bible
But they may be reading you.
