Words

These tiny little things have been given too much power:
Power to heal
Power to kill
Power to strengthen
Power to crush
Why have we willingly let these invisible weights decipherer who we are?
They control our fear,
Our joy,
Our emotions,
Our actions,
We do not give other things such reign in our lives:
Not authority,
Not family,
Not children,
Not friends,
Why is it that we give people’s words power, but not the people themselves?
That is a question to be answered by only One
Whose words control the universe.
Night and day
The sun and the stars
The heaven and the earth
The man and the beast
All quiver under the significance of these words.
Why, you ask?
Because He is the maker of words.
