Loving Yourself Through Words

The bank teller's currency is money.

The cardiologist's currency is heartbeats.

A vibrant church's currency is volunteer hours.

Our personal currency is words.

We either build ourselves up or tear ourselves down through the daily stream of words we direct toward our own heart and mind.

We either build others up or tear others down through the daily stream of words we direct toward the hearts and minds of others.

Jesus' currency of words was/is direct, loving, truthful, confrontational when needed, always encouraging.

If words are our biggest means of exchange with others and ourselves, be rich, be skilled, be someone with whom others would want to trade.
