I have heard the blackened
sin-filled hiss of the enemy in
cruel ,slanderous, unkind words
that seek to lie, kill, and destroy.
I have heard and felt
the velvet Balm of Gilead
in Christ-centered words
that encourage, lift up, heal
and give diamonds of hope
to weary and war torn pilgrims
and soldiers of the eternal kingdom.
We all choose our source
when we choose our words.
We all choose our source!
