Words create worlds.

Words are powerful.

I heard three short phrases this week that spoke volumes to me.

I love you. I miss you. I forgive you.

I heard these words this week at a funeral. The funeral was for two of our Middle School girls and their parents. Their father killed their mother, the two girls and finally himself. These powerful words came from a niece who shared these last words for her uncle who caused the tragedy.

The teachings of Jesus in Luke 6 never seemed so poignant.

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Luke 6:27

I love you. I miss you. I forgive you.

Powerful.
