In a discussion with a blogger who pointed out that “actions speak louder than words,” and, how one should “trust actions not words” especially in having the life you imagine; basically, one thing came to my mind based on life experience and God’s words.
My perspective is different here and I try to point out what I see as I too have taken strong action and picked up my roots and crossed a continent in my car living on a shoestring as the saying goes, in order to pursue dreams or desires; but, all of that was nothing when compared to the words that came out of my own mouth at times, which sometimes did so much good for another, and showed my true heart, although, at other times my words condemned me for my lack or own arrogance, anger and stupidity!
It all depends what words are spoken, when and to whom, because, words actually carry the truth from one’s heart, which to me will always outdo any action that isn’t first instructed by truth!
“It is not without significance that two of the Ten Commandments deal with speech—taking the name of God in vain and bearing false witness against another person” (Ex. 20:7, 16). christiancourier
