There is a significant truth revealed throughout scripture - our words have power. God calls us to use our words wisely because they have the power to give life or to destroy. If I'm experiencing difficulty in a certain relationship, I need to recognize how my words might be impacting that connection. But how can I tell if my words are helping or hindering the growth of this relationship? And what do I do when my words are damaging my connections?
In any relationship there will inevitably be flaws and shortcomings to endure. Whenever a relationship becomes unhealthy, it is not uncommon to try to point out the other person’s failures or accuse them of being the source of the problem. But what if it’s me? What if there is something that I could improve about myself that would improve this connection? We’re going to spend the next several weeks at Flagstone taking an honest look at ourselves and discovering what we personally can be doing to improve the health of our relationships.
