00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.580
Words that wound lose. The lie. Sticks and stones
00:00:04.580 --> 00:00:07.299
may break my bones, but words will never hurt
00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:10.240
me. I can still hear the sting tucked inside
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.099
a childhood memory. Janelle can't tie her own
00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:16.320
shoes. I did learn how to tie my shoes, but I
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.500
had not learned how to untie those words from
00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.179
my heart. The words stayed with me long after
00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:23.899
the moment had passed. For years, I believed
00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:27.140
the lie. If I outgrow the moment, I outgrow the
00:00:27.140 --> 00:00:30.269
wound. God began showing me how many old phrases
00:00:30.269 --> 00:00:33.509
were still echoing inside me. Years later, while
00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:35.789
telling a close friend about that memory, she
00:00:35.789 --> 00:00:37.950
looked down at my tied walking shoes and said,
00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:41.409
Well, you obviously learned how. I chuckled because
00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:44.409
it was true. But the moment also revealed how
00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:47.469
long I had left my heart's door unguarded. Words
00:00:47.469 --> 00:00:50.109
can tie knots in places no one else can see.
00:00:50.549 --> 00:00:52.649
Maybe you have your own wounds that still follow
00:00:52.649 --> 00:00:56.250
you. Maybe it came from a parent, teacher, friend,
00:00:56.590 --> 00:00:59.539
spouse. or even your own mouth. It may sound
00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:01.820
small to someone else, but if it's shaped how
00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:05.140
you see yourself, it matters. Hurtful words do
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.719
not always leave bruises on the skin, but they
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.400
can leave marks on the soul. Scripture tells
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.079
us the tongue has the power of life and death.
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.180
That means words are not weightless. They can
00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:20.459
build, bless, wound or bind. But God's word carries
00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.239
greater power than every careless sentence ever
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.519
spoken over you. Grace unties what shame has
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.319
knotted. We must guard the words we repeat to
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.280
ourselves, especially the ones no one else hears.
00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:35.599
Some words need to be forgiven. Some need to
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.760
be rejected. Some need to be replaced with truth.
00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:42.200
God's Word does not just cover old wounds, it
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.379
heals them. Gain God's Truth The lie says words
00:01:46.379 --> 00:01:49.280
do not hurt if enough time has passed, but God
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.000
knows what still echoes in the heart. His truth
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.579
can reach the exact place where old wounding
00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:57.060
words have settled. When you hear hurtful words
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.420
from your past, you have a choice to receive
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:02.359
them, reject them, or bring them to Jesus for
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.340
healing. Let His Word have the final say over
00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:08.439
what has been spoken about you. Let God untie
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.699
what the enemy tried to knot. Reflection What
00:02:11.699 --> 00:02:14.319
old words still feel tied to your heart, and
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.819
what truth from God's Word can begin to untie
00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:17.060
them?
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.580
