Words are very powerful. A single comment can make a profound difference in the lives of people, either in a positive or a negative way. Words can be used to build people up or tear them down.  However, like with the words of Jesus, we can use our words to express empathy (walking another people’s shoes), to express love, or to express encouragement.  Using our words in this way helps the people around us become more empathetic, loving and compassionate to the people they meet.  In this way, we are sharing Jesus with everyone we come in contact with.

Based on Psalm 96 and Luke 7:1-10.
