Author Thoughts Today – Mark Batterson’s “Please, Sorry, Thanks” – Day 2 of 5 – 081225
“Let There Be Light”
The Doppler effect tells us that the universe is still expand¬ing. In other words, the words God spoke, in the beginning, are still creating galaxies at the outer edge of the universe. The universe is God’s way of saying, “Look at what I can do with four words!”
You may not be able to big bang the universe, but like the God in whose image you were created, your words create worlds. And I believe that few words resonate with more power than please, sorry, and thanks. They sing in three-part harmony. They are the foundation of all healthy relationships. They will determine how happy you are and, I might add, how holy you are.
When those three words become a way of life, you can not only change the world with your words, you can be part of creating a new world!
God, remind me of the power of my words today. How can I join you in creating new life? Amen.
