Words are powerful.
God births the world through words and as St. James says in today's reading, God "gave us birth by the word of truth".
Our words also have the power to build up or tear down both ourselves and others.
What words have your allowed to take root in your mind and soul?
How do they shape how you perceive the world and act especially toward people in distress?
How do you use the power of your words toward yourself and others?
To build up and encourage? To gossip and tear down?
You may wish to spend some talking with God or a trusted friend about your reflections on these words from James.
