“Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.” Pearl Strachan
The powers words contain is unbelievable. We have the ability to create things just by speaking them into existence. Your words also reveals what is in your heart. If a person is very negative and only speaks of negative things, then they obviously are not happy and it is a reflection of what is on the inside. Words give you courage and confidence. A simple “good morning, how are you?” can turn a person’s day around.
We have to be mindful of the words that we speak. One reason is because we do not want our words to be the reason to cause a person heartache, pain, doubt, or any type of insecurities. Instead of only speaking about what people do wrong, tell them what they are doing right also and then help them find a way to change. Only acknowledging a persons faults and flaws is not healthy.
Words bring on new insights and enlighten people in ways never imagined. Words are the reason we have all of these great creations. Somethings just have to be spoken. I really do believe that we speak things into existence. If you constantly sayy I am not or I can’t, chances are you will not and you can’t because of the words you spoke.
In order to change how we speak, we have to change what is in our hearts. Yesterday, Pastor Bernard said “The heart is the central motivation factor of human life. Every desire, choice, and decision comes from your heart.” Luke 6:45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.
Words have the ability to make or break anyone and anything. Think about what is in your heart. Think about the words you speak this week and beyond. What do your words reflect about your character?
There is a lot that needs to be done, a lot that needs to be changed and I know that it starts with my very words. Examine yourselves, by examining your heart, this is definitely a time for self-reflection.
Have a blessed week!
