Words are important.
Without them our actions lose meaning.
And without meaning we cannot live.
Words can offer perspective, insight, understanding, and vision. Words can bring consolation, comfort,
encouragement and hope. Words can take
away fear, isolation, shame, and guilt.
Words can reconcile, unite, forgive, and heal. Words can bring peace and joy, inner freedom
and deep gratitude. Words, in short, can
carry love on their wings. A word of
love can be the greatest act of love.
That is because when our words become flesh in our own lives and the
lives of others, we can change the world.
Jesus
is the word made flesh. (John 1:14) In Him
speaking and acting were one.
-- Henri Nouwen
