Words!

Happy Tuesday! I hope that you are having a great week so far. Thank you for stopping by to check out my blog this week. 

One of my favorite sayings growing up as a young girl was, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” I can remember saying this to the kids who called me names at the playground. 

It wasn’t until I grew older that I realized that these words were not true. Friends, words hurt. 

Here are a few Scriptures that relate to our words. 

           Psalm 141:3 Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

           Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. 

Our words have the power to hurt or hear, to build up or destroy. 

·     Speak good thinks about your future. 

·     Say good things about other people.

·     Use your words to build others up. 

Have a great week! Continue to speak good things about yourself and others!
