This is my most popular pin on Pinterest:

Proverbs 18:21 

“Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit - you choose”

This particular pin from Proverbs has somehow resonated w/ people. At the time of this writing, it now has over 1,344 pins; that may not seem like a big deal to you but to someone who gets an occasional pin or two, this is something.

Now, I could sit here all day & ponder as to why this pin is so popular but perhaps it's simply that people are finally seeing the importance & power of words.

Perhaps all their life they've been torn down...

Perhaps all their life they've never been encouraged...

Perhaps they've been told how bad or dirty they are...

Perhaps they've been told how stupid they are...

Perhaps they've always heard negativity & death spoken... 

Perhaps they've had their hopes & dreams constantly dashed...

Words are powerful.

Words have creative power.

Words created this world.

Words can create your world.

Words can shape people's lives.

Words can change a person's destiny.

Words can wound.

Words can heal.

Words can kill.

Words can give life.

Words can give hope.

Words are either poison or fruit.

You choose ~
