So, I was reading in Proverbs recently, specifically 10. When I got to like verse 21, I was struck by the truth that our words when spoken wisely can feed others. I really liked that visual and felt the weight that when I teach or speak with students on campus, I can be feeding them spiritually or even emotionally.
Of course then I thought of my own kids and Wendy and hope and pray that when I speak into their lives, they will be nourished and not starved. I thought of how my words spoken in anger or hurt can starve them...which felt heavy but is true.
I love that the Bible can be so alive and relevant in my life. That God's words so tangibly feed me in places I hunger.
