Speak Truth: Requirements and a Fairy Tale

Can we ever fully comprehend the power held in our words?   Remember the phrase “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”? Words do hurt, they can damage the human spirit in ways that can never be mended; even bully and shame others to the point of suicide. Words can also inspire hope, open a heart to unconditional love, and bring healing to body, mind and spirit. 
To Speak Truth is so much more than the spoken word, especially in our post-modern world of technology and instant communication.  At minimum it requires:  
1) We know truth in ourselves and have done an honest appraisal of our intention and motivation for speaking.  
2) We have an honest sense of the possible impact and effect of our words on others. 
3) Our words are in alignment with the words of Creator/Great Mystery/God. 

Prayer:  Creator, I offer my voice to You, as a tool for speaking Your wisdom, Your Truth.


And a fairy tale for Speak Truth:  Toads and Diamonds.
