Words and Life
We say ‘prayer’ because we have more to say than words can express.
We say ’worship’ because there is more than just speaking kindly of someone.
We say ’the Church’ because there is more than mere community.
We say ‘holy’ because there is more than just goodness.
We say ‘soul’ because there is more than just water and bones.
We say ‘eternity’ because it will all be swallowed up.
We say ‘Abba’ because we know there is somewhere that’s home.
What world do you live in? What words fill it up? Is the world illuminated?
For the words we use there must be a reason. And if you don’t use other words, is that where the world stops? Is there nothing more to find? Is that all the life there is for humans to live?
Thank you, Lord, for all we have. This life you give us we could not return. Take what poor and barren words we have.

everything we do is grossly lacking and an understatement of the joy that we have.
Very well said.
Such good thoughts! There are really no words big enough…deep, wide, long, and high enough to talk effectively and extensively about the important things…Eph. 3:14-21
Silence is more.
