We can encourage people or we can tear people apart with our words. I don't think we really realize how much power we have. How important our words mean to people.
I guess specifically...God's word.
Creflo said in his sermon today that's it's important to stand and speak God's word not speaking positive words. I'm not saying don't speak positive words but when we are standing and trying to get through a storm, God's word is what's going to get us through. Being positive helps but God's word has power.
During my transition, it's been pretty tough as negative words are being said, my supervisor has been saying things that haven't helped because she want's me to stay and the kids have been making me cry. However, the positive words that people have been saying have really helped and it's really speaking to my spirit. I'm not normally a person who needs that but it's been hard and their encouragement is making me strong literally. I'm so glad that I have faith right now and I've been standing on it.
A friend who doesn't speak to me as much texted me today and said, "Rejoice in the midst of your struggles." I needed to hear that because the change of everything is really getting to me. I'm going to get through this but I need to give God the praises through it all.
Life is not easy and the challenges we face are not always easy but we can make it with God and can as long as we rejoice.
The word in the house of God these past two Sunday's have been to "stand".
I'm telling you, with only 2 days of work left. I want to say some choice words to some people but I'm standing on my character and values and not falling into my flesh. I'm just so tired of the snakes and I'm so worried about my friend who still has to work with them. All I can do is use my words and pray for him which I do, more than me at times.
Again, I'm thankful for words and the life that is spoken into my life, the prayers that have been prayed over me and God's word.
