It's been a long time..

I thought I should do something beneficial with my time. So why not share my thoughts, ha ha :)

Yesterday in class we read about the tongue and how we speak blessings and curses from the same tongue. And this is not something that God wants from us because He made everyone in the image of God. Therefore He does not want for us to speak curses to anyone, only blessings.
I think that is a hard lesson to learn in this world and time when everyone has self-image problems because they do not know who they are or where they come from. And since they are insecure in who they are, they must build themselves up by tearing others down.
God made us in His image, therefore we are daughters and sons of the Most High King. We are co-heirs in Christ and we have the promise of God in our hearts. We are princesses and princes and we are not only highly favored, greatly blessed but also deeply loved.
We too often listen to the voices in our heads or the voices of those around us when we should be looking to Christ and His unconditional love for us. We say horrible things to each other and bring pains to one’s heart instead of speaking words of wisdom, encouragement, compassion, and love.

A simple smile can change a person’s life.
Just like a person’s words can change another person’s life.

We have the power to speak blessings or curses with our tongues.
We have the power to speak life into the heart of a person.

We should be building up one another instead of tearing them down.
We should be loving unconditionally rather than selfishly.

Like I said, a hard lesson learned.
But one worth aiming for.
