"Quotes"

 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."  Ephesians 4:29

I love quotes.  I love to read what famous historians have had to say, what famous people have had to say, I just love quotes!  Often times, at the end of each Blog, I search diligently for a great quote that will illustrate the theme and go along with the topic or verse that was selected.

Sometimes I find great quotes, sometimes not; and sometimes I find quotes that probably should not even be repeated, but something happened today that made me think about quotes on the flip side.

I love when that happens.

A dear friend of mine and I are doing an email bible study together.  Every day, we read the same verse, and then we email one another to share what the Lord placed on our hearts.  In her email to me this morning, she put something that I had written to her in quotation marks and put my initials beside what I had said.

She turned a thought that I had said, into a quote.

It made me realize a few things:

    -My words matter to those who hear them-

So, are my words worth quoting?

Do they bring glory and honor to my Saviour?

Do they encourage those who hear them?

Or would they rather I had not spoken anything at all?

    It gives me something to think about...

        But that's just me!
