Word from Grace Street: Words True, Loving & Necessary
Posted by Kimberly Allen
In today's Word from Grace Street, Wallace+ cites The Book of James, Chapter 3:
"For all of us make mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide the whole bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts great exploits."
Wallace+ then reflects:
The tongue is small, and yet immensely powerful. Words issue forth, for good, for ill, with less thought, with more: words of all kinds. Marriages and wars are started and ended with words. Words echo through our memory and our identity: I love you. You hurt me. I forgive you. Thank you. You are beautiful. I will. I can't. Goodbye. Help. Bless you. Peace.
