I recently got an ezine from Pastor James MacDonald with Healthy Things Multiply in the title. I loved it so much that I’m using it for this blog series.
As I reported in earlier posts, 2010 was The Year of Distraction. I ended the year with so many personal and professional disappointments that I blogged endlessly about them.
But, no more. The pity party is over. Time to shift to a praise party.
One of the ways healthy things multiply is through your words. For God can’t bless what I’m about to do if I continue to focus on the things that I didn’t do.
My words can either bless me or curse me. Yes, my own words. And words are so utterly powerful. In the political climate that we’re in right now, many are pointing to the power of words for much of the hate, blame and finger pointing that’s poisoning healthy political debate.
What we say can either multiply the good in our lives or the bad. What we say can bring abundance or calamity. What we say can incite others to violence or encourage others to make positive changes.
So, I choose life. I choose gratitude and I choose to use my God given gift to help others realize that your words can help healthy things multiply.
To change your words, first, start your day asking for God’s blessing. Then, end it by writing in your Praise Journal all the things you’re thankful for. Do this for 7-days straight, then report what has happened in your life as a result of changing your words.
“From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:20-21
