"Pleasant words are a honeycomb"
Proverbs 16:24Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Words are powerful. They have the ability to encourage or discourage another.
Bound in their syllables are the minute history of us all. The glancing passing pain, longing, joy, and ordeal of living in a fallen world. Our words speak a lot about ourselves for they often unmask the heart and once unmasked and identified they are forever irretrievable.
Words are a symptom. The full diagnose is left to the giver of words. For our Heavenly Father fully hears your words and mine, he fully understands the heart and mind behind them, the heartache, the loss, as well as the unmentionable joys of life.
Christ desires to hear our words. He desires that we open our hearts to him. That we send out out to him our life—in words.
The Bible calls this prayer and that word, ‘prayer’, frightens a lot of folks these days. Yet simply talking to your Favorite Friend, your Brother, your God is prayer—powerful prayer.
Christ will often answer your words—your prayer with gentleness, with meekness, with “words that are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”
Yet it is left for us to first approach him with our words… unmasking our life and sharing with him, giving to him, worshipping him.
The more time spent talking to Him we will discover a change in ourselves. For our words will not be so harsh, so rash, and not so consumed with ourselves. Our words, our hearts, and our lives will be transformed and we will seek to heal, to comfort, and to sweeten the lives around us through the use of words of encouragement.
These words of encouragement and these words to our Savior are the best gifts we can offer one to another as together we daily strive to learn to love Him as we learn to love one another.
Father, thank you for the gift of words. May our words encourage and uplift and share the hope that is within our hearts. That hope is you.
