Sometimes Words Speak Louder

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)


An old adage says that actions speak louder than words, but on Mother's Day, the kind and loving and sweet and uplifting and encouraging words written to me by my kids—both the ones I birthed and the ones they married—shouted joy to this mama'a heart.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus spoke words heard round the world. He said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father but by Me." A narrow way to heaven? Yes. But open to everyone who will believe.

Lord, help us use our words today to love and encourage others and to show them the narrow way: Jesus Christ, God's Son.
