These are words that have been swirling through my mind as I have been reading America Exhausted by Edward Conley. What words have been swirling around in your mind lately?
I must admit, there is a less admirable set of words swirling in my head.
Do you have two sets of words? One of hope, the other of fear? If you do, you're not alone. Most of us have two lists of words - two ways of thinking. Sometimes its hard to tell which is right and which is wrong. But when faced with these two options, we must turn to the One Word that makes a difference - to the word of God. We must dig into This Word, and allow It to dictate the words of life to us. We must allow It to be the light in dark places when all other lights go out. This Word must be our Guide, or we will lose our way. This Word must be our Hope, or we will give into despair. This Word must give us life, or we will take our lives in hopelessness and despair.
Be in the Word today, friends.
Excited, nervous, relying, missing, new horizons, loneliness, family, friendships, roommates, studying, citations, future...
ReplyDeleteA few of my words. Thank you for the reminder, dear friend!
