This story reminds me how important my words are. Sometimes, I use words to make people feel good, even if I don't really mean what I say. And when I do this, I'm seeking to please people instead of seeking to please God. As I edited this video, I felt God reminding me to be careful with my words. Yes, I should speak uplifting words. But I shouldn't throw around words I don't mean in an effort to make people like me.
