Eikev (5781): Building a world with our words

How did G-d create the world? 'And He said', states the Torah, meaning, G-d created the world using His speech. Often, we use our words superficially. We think one thing, and we do another. However, being created in the image of G-d, means that our words are as powerful as His. Just as his words created the world, so too our words can create worlds. The way we speak to our spouse, children, and anyone else, can literally change their lives forever.
