Release Your Words

RELEASE

Some favorite words

Words are containers of power, it's been said.   Release them.

Just think of the pressure of having them bottled up inside of you! 

Now, of course, there are some words you should never say because the power they contain is destructive.  Always, always, always think before you speak!

But if God has given you insight, if you've a story to tell, if you could just encourage one soul, then you need to release your words.

Some of us are led to speak to crowds with our words; some need to make a phone call or plan for one-on-one time to give (or receive) counsel.

Others are led to write their words, perhaps in a book or a diary.  What would it be like if we had never read the words of Anne Frank? Or Harper Lee?  Or any of the thousands, if not millions, of writers that have been such an influence on us.  What if David had not released the words of his Psalms, or Paul had not released his letters to the churches?

What if you held back from writing that encouraging word in a card or letter to a loved one, acquaintance, or even to a soldier or prisoner that you didn't even know? Would you be held accountable for not encouraging or exhorting if you had had the chance?

Don't hold back the words God gives you to encourage.  Release them.
