What do Christ's words do for us?

The better question might be,
What do these words not do?
The words our Master gave us
Do more for us than
we can possibly imagine.

Let me give you a first-hand account:
Christ's words have --
Healed me,
Made me more loving,
Removed fears,
Given me the courage
to please God rather than people,
Opened channels for
greater usefulness to others,
Simplified my life greatly,
Inspired/instructed/defended/comforted,
Freed me from unnecessary social obligations,
Given me calmness
in trying circumstances,
Brought lovely friendships
with those who love and live
what Jesus taught.

I could go on and on and on,
but as I said at the outset,
what do Jesus' words not do for us?
