words.

Whoever said words were powerless was a complete moron.
Words are incredible. Words shape this world. I love words.
I want to be a writer, so that I can use all the words my little heart desires.

I love to read words. I live for that feeling you get when you read something that hits you so hard, it's breathtaking. Sometimes it almost feels like everything else, even time itself, has stopped, when you read those words. Once in a while I come across words like that, and it would be selfish of me to not share them. I can't stop thinking about these words I read in seminary, in Psalm 27:3-6:

"Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me: he shall set me up upon a rock. And now mine head shall be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord."

What words have taken your breath away lately?
