Words are powerful. In fact, it was words that brought the universe into being, and it is the Word who now brings life to the dead heart. Words accomplish; words carry weight; words have meaning; words lift up and words beat down. They bring life and they bring death. 

Could we with ink the ocean fill;
And were the skies of parchment made.
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky. (Frederick Lehman)

Today he might forgo the parchment and quills to remind us that even if every man were to e-mail and blog and text for all time, we would never tire of communicating about this amazing love. A trillion text messages a year would only scratch the surface.
