Words are valuable. Often words are all that we have and in today’s age of instant messaging, e-mails, texting, and information overload.
We should all be able to agree that words that speak the truth are the most valuable. When words are spoken because they are what someone thinks they ‘want to hear’ or because the other person believes it is the ‘right answer’, but it is not the truth, they carry little value. In fact those words might even be considered worthless.
Someone once asked, "If a picture is worth a thousand words, what are a thousand words worth?"
My answer, it depends on the words and it depends on who says them.
Hearing the words "You might need heart surgery" will have a differing meaning coming from your cardiologist versus your car mechanic.
So when you hear the words the "truth shall set you free." It should also matter. This statement of simple words only matter when you know the truth. This isn't about just speaking the truth.
Jesus said, "I am the truth." Knowing the truth shall set you free.
Words matter. Words are valuable.
Do you know the truth?
