Out of the Darkness Chapter 4 - Trauma and Truths
Talk 4 Your Walk Podcast
info_outlineLet's Talk!
In a world filled with noise, it is easy to overlook the impact of our words and actions. But little do we realize that they shape the course of our lives and influence the lives of others. Today, we explore the significance of being mindful about what we say and do through a biblical perspective.
Our journey of self-reflection takes us back to the wisdom found in the book of Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 21, which states, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
Every word we speak holds potential; a potential to uplift, comfort, and inspire. But likewise, it also carries the power to wound, discourage, and even destroy. Our tongue can create life-giving connections or sever valuable relationships.
Let us remember that our words have an eternal impact, not only on our earthly relationships but also on our spiritual journey. As followers of the biblical principles, it is crucial to pay attention to the words we choose and the message they convey.
Words rarely stand alone; they intertwine with our actions, breathing life into our character. This brings us to the biblical truth found in the book of James, chapter 1, verse 22: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
It is not enough to simply speak words of kindness and love. Our actions must align with our words, resonating with the world around us. People are not persuaded or affected by empty words; rather, they are drawn to authentic displays of compassion, gratitude, and empathy.
As believers, we are called not only to speak the truth but to live it. In the book of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 16, we are reminded, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Our words and actions are the mirror in which others perceive us. They reflect the values and principles we hold dear. Let us remember that we are representatives of a greater power, ambassadors of compassion, and grace here on Earth.
May we always choose our words wisely, mindful of their power, and may our actions be a testament to our faith, shining a light into the world. For in the end, it is through our words and actions that we create a tapestry of love, compassion, and shepherding for others to follow.
Pay attention to your words, pay attention to your actions, pay attention to the impact you have on the world.
