Words

Sometimes words are all we have when there's nothing we can do.  They say that actions speak louder than words, but people tend to say things without really thinking.

-Words build up or tear down.

-Words inspire or insult.

-The first words spoken have made lovers out of strangers.

-The last words whispered may ease a mourners pain.

-Words spoken in anger are often forgiven, but rarely forgotten.

-Words like, "Just what I needed to hear!" means God spoke through you.

You are what you say and how you say it.

Matthew 12:37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
 
"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime."
