Words

Lady of Light

In Proverbs, Chapter 18:4, the bible tells us, "The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook."

When you speak, or when you listen to people around you, do you experience the phenomena of a flowing brook? Too often, not, I am afraid. It is so important to pray and ask God and His spirit to guide our tongues so that wisdom flows. Although this verse doesn't mention it, I also believe that loving words are healing. We need to recognize the power of words - both our own and those of others and "allow wisdom to flow and love to flow." This means being patient and not being abrupt with people - even the cashier in the supermarket or someone in line. Think of the fact that a flowing brook is so smooth, refreshing and calm.

God Bless you and have a great day!

Lady of Light
