This morning in Kidstuf we're talking about how Peter wrote letters to others churches to instruct and encourage them (in other words...he used his words). We call those letters 1 and 2 Peter. It's in the words of those letters that we can easily see how words can be used for good.
That is a simple thing, but it's so hard to do sometimes. I can be quick to take my words and use them in harsh ways as a parent or spouse. In fact, Carter, our 3 yr old, called me out on it the other day. I felt like the parent of the year (insert sarcasm here)! So in that moment I took a deep breath, sucked up my pride, and walked over to ask forgiveness from my wife and son.
I know one day my son will sin like I did with his words (in fact, he did last night), but I want to model how God can use words for healing and forgiveness. Why? Because that's what God models for me in the life of Jesus Christ...my forgiveness and my healing.
