If an artist were to paint with your
words, what pictures would he create?

Actually, we are all artists. Every day
we draw, paint and sketch the forms, hues and image of our lives with
the words we speak. The perfect Word of God says, “Consider your ways” (Hag 1:5).
Much wisdom is gained in considering the color of our conversation in
our lives, relationships and circumstances.
Everyday, we are creating the
landscape, color and form of our lives by the words we speak. But as
every artist knows, before there is an image there is imagination.
The picture forms in the heart of the creator before it forms on
paper. So our words first form in the studio of our hearts. If our
hearts are cleansed holy by the crimson blood of Christ, our words
will reflect that holiness. If our minds are washed by the crystal
blue river of the Word, it will flood over the bank of our tongues.
And if the golden sunlight of the joy of our Lord is our strength, our voices will reflect the Light - even during our most clouded day. Each day will add a stroke here, a brush here
of what is pure, clean and bright.
How Words Paint Our Relationships
Countless Scriptures speak of the power
of the tongue in our relationships. In fact, we could liken our
relationships to subjects on the artist's canvas.
