Luke 6:28 MSG
When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person.

Can't sleep tonight--had a wonderful day celebrating the twins' 3rd birthday, but the day ended with some harsh words. The old saying--sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me--is just untrue. Words...they can do so much--fill us with joy, paralyze us with fright, build us with confidence, tear us down to nothing. Words. Powerful. They can make a person want to do all the right things--or all the wrong things. Tonight, the words spoken tore me down; angered me--made me want to lash back. So, I visited The Word--the Words that teach, The Words that nourish, The Words that heal, the Word that becomes flesh. And I was strengthened. And I will return tomorrow to be strengthened. Words are powerful but The Word, His Word is more powerful.

Thank you God for the power in your Word
