Good Words

Genesis 48:9 Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Bring them to me, I pray you, that I may bless them."

The word eulogy is made up of two parts, ‘eu’ means good, and ‘logy’ means word, so a eulogy is good words spoken of to others. It is in speaking good words that results in a good response to those words, so we need to be more conscious of the words we use, so that are words are good.

When we use negative words it brings about a negativity which wounds and bruises people rather than heals them, usually this negativity is routed in our desire to protect ourselves from others by keeping people away from us by using hurtful words. This is learnt behaviour that we find in families and communities where verbal abuse is the order of the day.

 In order to move from the negative to the positive we need to learn how to bless others through the words that we use, and the display of affirmative body language. When we hug our enemies they soon become our friends, when we bless our enemies with our words, they soon find the place to reconcile.

Be encouraged today to use words that are good.

David
