Can you remember a time when the lyrics of a song or a friendly word of encouragement helped you get through a difficult moment or situation? Can you recall a time when the nasty or hurtful comments made about you or a loved one dragged down your spirits? Words are powerful. They can tear down but also can lift up. Words can inspire and change your attitude. Be a good steward of your words!

Choose what you say wisely because you can not take them back. What you say matters. With consistency, positive spoken words have the power to transform and bring change in your life and over any situation you are facing. Life is not always happy, carefree, and easy. Difficult times and problems can cause you to become bitter, to complain, be sad, and discouraged. However, don’t live subject to your feelings. Seek out inspiration, encouragement, and uplifting support. Words are powerful because it is a form of communication. Communicate more goodness back into your daily routine, when you speak to others, and back into the world.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. – Proverbs 18:21
