Words

We banter words supposing that the idea in our head is being communicated to someone else. God created language. And as C. S. Lewis once mentioned: "He did not consult us on the matter". But we shrug our shoulders and bend them to the task. With all our heart we ply the letters of the alphabet toward understanding. If we like what we see, and think it worthy and summary of our thought, we send them out for scrutiny. If not, well, we have "delete".
God's word is not so lightly spoken as man's. When He speaks it is with final authority and will accomplish that for which it was sent. Our experience is slightly less successful. Ok. This is our lot. We are what we are and the limits placed on our minds remains.
I consider how easily our words get tripped up by others. Even if we intend truth and sincerity we often miss the mark. But, being honest, how often are our words let loose on humanity through an absolutely pure filter of love? And, let us remember that those who seek truth are far fewer than those who seek only a certain measure.
May God bless you with His words as you seek to deliver heaven to the worldly.
