Sticks and Stones

Words are very powerful things. They can alter the course of your future. You can cause someone to be happy or sad, encouraged or discouraged. Blessings and curses come out from your mouth. Once you believe what someone says (whether it’s good or bad), it will alter the way you think and more importantly alter the way you act.

Take every thought captive and submit it to God. If it’s not edifying to you or someone else, forgive and flush it away.

A while ago someone said something to me that finally hit me today. I’m sure the person didn’t mean anything by it or I just misunderstood what the person said, but I realize now that it really affected me. Anyhow, just a reminder to myself to guard my thoughts and go back to what God says about me.

Who am I? Where am I going? How am I getting there? Who am I taking with me? If you can answer these questions it doesn’t matter what anybody else says to you.
