Words are powerful, and it only takes a few words to influence someone’s emotions, state of mind, or outlook. While we often think of how we must be careful with what we say, it also is often taken for granted that we possess the gift of words.

Do you speak just to fill the silence, or do you take the time to be intentional with what you will say? Admittedly, it can be quite difficult to “think before you speak” in such a reactionary and quick-paced culture. Writing gives you the opportunity to intentionally articulate your message with meaningful words. Whether you are writing a letter to someone else, or journaling to capture the thoughts in your head, writing will surely solidify any thought or emotion you wish to translate into words. Words can encourage, inspire, lift up, and change hearts. Words can give Hope.
