Hello, again...

If you could write just three words that might save a life, what would those three words be?

I believe I would choose, "Never Give Up!"

Words have inspired and guided me all of my life. If you would like to share your three words, I would love to see them....

This is a tough one but I think mine would be:

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ASK FOR HELP <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I believe advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.

Asking for help does not mean we are weak or incompetent. It usually indicates an advanced level oh honesty and intelligence.

Hmm. The first words that came to mind were "Hang onto me." I guess I was thinking of saving someone else.
Maybe if it was me being saved, I might prefer, "Hold onto me."
Seems like more than anything else in the world, we all need to hang onto each other.
Interesting question.

The three words that popped into my mind were, "I AM HERE". I think that it is important to let people know there is someone they can depend on and who will be there for them. I always tell my kids that when they are having problems.

This is interesting.

The first three words that came to my mind were:
Let God in. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I know for a fact God can change anything. I just don't know if people who don't have God in their lives would have enough trust to know those words can save lives.

I think it depends on the person you're dealing with. Don't you?

Boy lots of wisdom here.
I agree it depends on who you are speaking to and also under what circumstance. My mind immediately went to a literal emergency where a life was at stake.
Others went to the wisdom to keep people out of emergencies such as I envisioned. Some even further to the fullness of life.
What sounds like simple question hides a lot of complexity.

Wonderful and fantastic responses! I can't say enough. "Let God In," is wonderful, timely and needed. Words of "let me help" and other phrases of openness and kindness are life-altering, life-changing words!

These words of inspiration would most assuredly save, change lives....Inspiring, every word!

The first thing that came to my mind was "I love you". In my thinking, it could mean "I am here for you", I won't leave you alone" etc.

Dotsie's words rang very true. I try each day to turn my worries over to God and let them rest in His hands. But "I Love You" are my 3 words.

Good topic.

I didn't have time to write them down in this particular situation, but as a teenager I was in a car accident with my sister and our boyfriends. The car rolled and flipped and I remember calling out "Jesus save us!" We all walked away unhurt. I think my parents suffered most, they were following direvctly behind and saw the whole thing.

The almighty gave us reassuance in just TWO words - I AM. That's enough to comfort me.

Lynn, your three words are so typical of you. I pray that they are typical of me as well.
Those three words could not only save a life, they could save the world. In fact they did when Jesus came to earth to live among us.
We should all say them more. And show them everywhere.

Hey all. I'm new here. I've enjoyed reading this thread. I guess my three words would be ---
God never fails --- <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Well, to go to the humorous side I might say, "Lead, Follow, Yikes!"

I enjoyed this thread so much!
First thing that came to mind when I saw the question was: I LOVE YOU.
Second, God loves YOU.
"You're so special"
"Love never fails"
"Take my hand"
"I'm your friend"
"Love conquers all"
"God's in control"

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" /> I guess it depends on the situation at hand and the person you're talking to.

It's amazing... the power of words. It is so important to use with caution, love and understanding... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Words can do so much good, but on the other hand, if spoken lightly, can harm so much!

Here I am, late to the party again. But couldn't resist my three words, or nine words it turned out. I loved the rest. Thanks, girls.

God already knows.
Take my hand.
Can I pray?
