Remember [your Creator]—before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well, and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecc. 12:6).
Words speak life or death, and they affect the connection of life/the silver cord. We need to bring life together, in unity. Our gifts travel through these lifelines, as do our thought and actions. We can shape the airwaves. We can enrich the threads of life.
We carry life. When we see life and truth, it touches us deeply—a chorus, a flash mob, a song, art, dance, a smile, laughter—anything that brings beauty and joy. All these things display heaven; they display the heart of God and his character.
The more of heaven’s life and character we pour into those around us, the more light and life we bring, the less darkness has a chance. You can only be a life-giver when you live in the life-giver. You complete the circuit.
Asking God to show us his glory is always good, but his glory is already here and we are the circuit completers. We are the warmth and light of heaven, bringing life to everything we touch like an umbilical cord, and when only good flows through, life grows.
When we speak death, we cut that cord of life. We exaggerate the truth to make ourselves look better, we talk about others in a negative way, we’re mean, unforgiving, bitter, cutting, loud, angry, negative, mocking, shaming. BUT, while dark words empower darkness …
Your words of light empower life.
