I am hosting my first linky party and I would love to have you join me.
Hello, Dolls!
Let’s talk about POWER today.
Or maybe you are like me and may be feeling powerless this morning. Your world may be rocked by circumstance and conflict. You may feel like you are in the middle of a cyclone, whirlwind, tornado, hurricane, tsunami-maybe it is one you helped create, or maybe you find yourself in the center of a controversy that you had no hand in starting.
It is not a comfortable place to be, but God has not left us powerless.
Our power comes from the little muscle that resides in our mouth… our tongue. We can fan the flames of hurt feelings and anger, using our words to help stir up dissension.
OR
“So let’s agree to use all our energy in getting along with each other. Help others with encouraging words; don’t drag them down by finding fault.”
Conflicts happen in governments, friendships, families, churches. I am not a total Pollyanna. I know people will not always get along, but there is a way to handle disagreements without destroying one another.
How we resolve them as Christians is so important. The world is watching.
I heard this song by Toby Mac and he says exactly what I am trying to say, only he says it better and with a good beat…..
I don’t know about you, but I, with God’s help, am going to use my tongue to SPEAK LIFE even when I don’t really want to. Hold me accountable, would you?
A beautiful post Susan!
I totally agree! Life gives us back the words we speak into life. I choose to speak life too, and you please hold me accountable too!
Such true words, Susan!
The tongue is a truly
powerful weapon which
we can use to lift or to
tear down. Like you, I
choose the former. And
I love Toby Mac!
Thank you for the kindness
and support you offered in your
last comment–I so appreciated
it, and you. I hope you called
your bestie!!!
