The Right Words In A Wrong World

The Right Words in a Wrong World

What’s wrong can be made right again. But what’s right has never been absent.

It can be found in the quiet words of a counselor to someone racked with guilt and shame. Or when a bullied child is praised by his teacher for his work on a class project. Or when you’re about to give up but hear the words from above: I’m not done with you yet.

What is the communication of your life? Is it that because there’s so much wrong with the world, there’s no use in trying? That we should all just look out for number one? If so, you’ll have little problem communicating with others who speak the same language. Your words won’t matter.

No matter how wrong the world is, the right words have been spoken from the beginning. They’re near you. Perhaps they’re even on the tip of your tongue. So try it. Speak the right words, and watch how they will change your world.

The word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. —Deuteronomy 30:14
