My words matter.
My words paint images in your mind.
I can use my words to manipulate the image they paint in your mind.
If I tell you “She is a cripple” I say those words for a reason- for pity.
If I tell you “She is an artist” I say those words for a reason- for admiration.
Both sets of words maybe accurate about She, but only one set of words is true.
Only one set of words about She matters.
The words about She’s purpose, She’s giftedness, She’s difference that she makes in the world; those words matter. Those words make She matter.
The other words describe what the environment does to her.
The other words make She not matter, they make her different. They are not true about She.
“She is a cripple” is not about She, but about the non-accessible world She inhabits.
Crippled. Crip. Handicapped. Bound to. Confined. Suffers with. Words that are not true. Words that do not matter.
Artistic. Fun. Creative. Adventurous. Contributor. Delighted. Cherished. Words that are true. Words that do matter.
Words matter.

Every word matters. Blessed are those who discipline the tongue, who listen more than speak, who’s words become a channel of God’s grace.
Thank you for your comment, Todd. Yes, “listen more than speak” is wisdom! Blessings to you.
