It struck me today how true the saying is: "Actions speak louder than words." In fact, I'd venture to say that when it comes right down to it, words alone are absolutely meaningless -- they all depend on a context. Well, unless they are negative words... which is a whole different intriguing story of its own.
And it's a little frustrating, because I'd like to think of myself as being fairly talented when it comes to words, but I know that my actions do not always back up what I'm trying to communicate, which I'm sure confuses many people.
It makes me wonder if we all just live in a world of misunderstandings where the exception happens on the rare occasion that someone's actions and words actually do consistently line up. Except that Jesus' words and actions lined up perfectly and he was one of the most misunderstood men in all of history... Or maybe that's why we misunderstood him....?
It's all very curious... Or maybe it's just late?? ;-)
