My Missionary Moment

"Our words , like our deeds, should be filled with faith and hope and charity."

 

“The stroke of the
whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the
bones.”

Like all gifts "which cometh from above," words are sacred, and must be spoken with care, and by constraint of the Spirit.

"So, brothers and sisters, in this long eternal quest to be more like our Savior, may we try to be "perfect" men and women in at least this one way now --- by offending not in word, or more positively put, by speaking with a new tongue, the tongue of angels.  Our words, like our deeds, should be filled with faith and hope and charity, the three great Christian imperatives so desperately needed in the work today.  With such words, spoken under the influence of the Spirit, tears can be dried, hearts can be healed, lives can be elevated, hope can return, confidence can prevail."
