We believe people live because of something said. The tongue can be “a tree of life” (Proverbs 15:4). Words reconcile people and make peace. “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9). Words can make marriages sweet, families strong, and churches healthy. Words can give hope to the despairing, bring comfort to the broken hearted, deepen understanding, and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Everyday you will read or speak words, death or life? “Sword thrusts” or “healing” (Proverbs 12:18)?
These spoken or read words come from your heart. What is filling your heart? Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart [the] mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45). A critical heart produces a critical tongue. A self-righteous heart produces a judgmental tongue. A bitter heart produces an acerbic tongue. An ungrateful heart produces a grumbling tongue.
A loving heart produces a gracious tongue. A faithful heart produces a truthful tongue. A peaceful heart produces a reconciling tongue. A trusting heart produces an encouraging tongue.
My hearts desire is to create boards for your home that speak life and Truth. My dad creates the wood and I am inspired by scripture or meaningful words or literature. What words do you have for me? Let’s spread words of life!
Thank you
