At Issue: Power of Words ( from Zondervan. TNIV eDevotional)

James 3:1-12

Did you realize you have superpowers? You may not be Wonder Woman or Bat Girl, but you have an incredible weapon in your personal arsenal-your tongue. Though small, it holds astonishing power. It can encourage, strengthen and brighten another's day. Or it can tear down, wound and crush other people. Every day you face a choice: Will you use your superpowers for good or for evil? When you praise God with the same tongue that you curse the people he created, you've made the wrong choice. Respect the power of words and learn to use them to encourage and strengthen others.

Just think of all the conversations we have every day and how much impact we have whether we know it or not. So I'm trying to remember everyday to at least say hello (with a smile) to everyone who walks through the front door. Angie
