Bless With Your Words.

“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!”
Proverbs 15:23
One word you tell someone can change their lives. One word you tell someone can lead them to commit suicide. One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life on television said, she never knew she was beautiful because of the words she was told as a little child. So she hated herself and would cut herself every night until she bleeds.

This shows that what you say to little children matters as they are growing up. If you call them the wrong names and make them feel worthless, you may destroy their self-worth. This is because psychologists tell us that the mind of a child is blank, so he or she receives the words you say as the truth about who they are, and if those words are negative, you may just destroy their self-esteem and potential for greatness.

Every day I thank God for my mother. Everything I am today, apart from God and the books I have read, is because of my mother and my father. They had such positive influence over my life. So, what are you going to do with the influence you have over the life of your children, or that boy and that girl around you? Use your words to put them on the path of success and greatness. Don't talk them down. Instead, use your words to shape their lives for greatness.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You for You have given me the tongue of the learned to know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary at all times, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
