There is no denying the power of words to build us or break us, misguide the way we see ourselves or right our vision. Perhaps there have been words spoken to you in moments you were most vulnerable—words that wounded you, stuck with you, defined your moments since. It’s hard to love well when we don’t see ourselves as worthy of being loved. It’s hard to live given when what we’ve needed was withheld by those we trusted. Yet just as words can negatively impact us, so too can the right words heal our soul-holes and break us into freedom. Choosing the best words to believe can free us to love God, others, and ourselves well.
