The most straightforward way to affect those you interact with is through the power of your words.
And just as God spoke His creation into existence so are we as His image-bearers to enliven those around us with the words that we use.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits"
(Proverbs 18:21).
Father, give me grace to bring life-giving words to those I'm with today.
