I am a word person. It's been said that "the pen is mightier than the sword." As a writer, I study, use, discuss, ponder, research, and otherwise slightly obsess over words. There is something about words that can change life, the world, and the landscape of a heart.
Of course, there are people who say that words are just words, especially when they are not accompanied by actions. And this is very true. But the power of words that have been first proven by action can be that much stronger and more beautiful.
Today, I was truly affirmed in the power of words. I received some words that really touched me. And of course, these words have been seen in the actions of the person prior. Yet, hearing the words and understanding the extent of what the actions spoke to made all the difference in the world. Now, part of the thing is that one of my primary love languages is Words of Affirmation. So maybe words are important for me.... But what I do know is that words can be powerful, especially when you know that the words are sincere and from the heart.
So what am I saying? It may sound cliche, but always be sure to express yourself. There is power in words. Don't be afraid to share how you feel with others. Life is truly precious, but so is love. You have no idea what your words can mean to someone else. So feel free to open up...
