The Power of Words

Keep Thy Heart with All Diligence for Out Of It Are the Issues of Life

Ever notice just how much words affect our lives, how one little word or phrase could catch your attention. Words may not always affect you immediately but they have a way of coming back and punching you right smack in the face. Words can make you have a whole different outlook on life especially when there said in the right way. You'll find yourself just sitting listening and pondering on what was said to you at this certain time. A lot of times it'll make you have a whole new outlook on yourself and boy can it be powerful at times, both emotional and spiritual. Sometimes it can be just what you need, a confirmation of what God had already placed in your spirit. Just like the word say he know us better than we know ourselves. Quite often we venture out in life thinking we know exactly which way were going, not knowing what we're going to run into. You see life has so many twists and turns you'll be faced with many choices. Only thing is we must make one whether we're right or wrong we must make a choice. Question is, how we handle the consequences from the choices we make? Will we choose to handle it on our own, our own understanding? Or will we turn to our father for answers, whom art in heaven, whom which we can do nothing without. Of course, let's be real, will be making most of these decisions on our own, you know what I mean, most of our lives we make our own choices, not consulting God for anything. Come on you know us humans we often think we know it all, especially, I'm sad to say, us women. Just like Eve we think we can break the rules and turn things around. Come on ladies, you know we have something inside us that tell us we can change the world, especially the male species. All yeah, we think we got what it takes to make the opposite sex turn into a man or whatever it is we want them to be. Ladies you know what I mean. A let's not leave out the fact that we are strong willed, especially when it comes to love.

Some stronger than others, but when we want what we want things can get a bit crazy. And no, I'm not leaving out the men, can't do that. They are more than likely out to get what they want from the beginning. Rules don't apply, when they have their eye on something or someone, talk about being persistent. Men can be very creative and in a lot of ways downright dirty, I mean no holes barred. Seems as though they know exactly what to say and what it is we want and need to hear. All yeah, they can be very persuasive when they want to. Let's face it, they love the chase. And a lot of ways you can say they are like a lion. They set their sights on the easy prey first, wear them down, get there fill and move on.

Always, mind you, thinking of their next victim, most of the time he had it lined up, already, working on it. You see this may take a little more planning. It is not as easy for this one as it was the first. As we all know over the years of growing up there were always the easy ones and the hard ones. But that just made it more interesting for the chase. This is why life is about choices, for all of us there are choices. See we're free to make our own choices God made sure of that, only thing is, most forget that there are also consequences. And one thing about it we can't choose those. We never know what they're going to be or when they are going to come. That's why it's best to think before you leap. You can't listen to everything you hear. Consequences can be very painful and not even what you expect. In fact you really don't know, but one thing about them they don't go away. They'll be waiting around the corner, and will come when you really don't expect them to. This is part of the journey, growing up. You see choices don't just start when you're grown up, they start early in life. But when our heavenly father breeths breath in our bodies the journey begin. And with that first breath so does our purpose. Oh yes, we have a purpose whether we realize it or not we all have a purpose. Thing is, everyone don't realize that. But as life goes on, prayerfully, we all will realize that, some early on in life and some later. Most important, is that we all realize what it is, that we choose to ready ourselves and each other for the kingdom. This remind me of growing up into a young lady. I'm reminded of some choices I've made in my life. I am most thankful for the seed my mother planted in me. The seed of God that is. Because of which, I was able to have conviction from my choices. Especially when I made a choice that I knew in my heart was wrong and I went forth with it anyway. You see I take full responsibility for my past. I'm not going to beat myself up. So with compassion rather than condemnation, I realize I am made of God substance and my destiny is always good and positive. So of course, being young and I sometimes take a quick look back and give God thanks, thanks for where he's brought me from and what he's brought me through.

All I can say is thank you Lord for not letting me go. And when I think things over, I find myself looking up, and began to praise him for his grace and mercy. For all the storms, all the mountains he brought me over, the trials and tribulations. Tears began to roll down my face, I began to cry out hallelujah to God be the glory. I began to stop and take a look around at what's going on around me day by day. All the lies, deceit, hate, anger, betrayal, murder, lack of respect for each other, the total disregard for life itself.

That's when I found the answer to the question. Who shall I seek? It's definitely a no-brainer, the Lord in all his might, the only answer for that question. "Make me to know your ways oh Lord teach me your path (Psalms 25:4) once again you have a choice, but remember there are consequences for your actions. Choose to be on the winning team, for God bring you joy. Seek ye the Lord, and after you've looked back, up, and around, you must look forward and began to worship the Lord. Program first yourself and consciousness, praying that you turn yourself within and prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Remembering many will find you, fool you, and forget you. It's all a part of the journey.

Got Caught Up

Looking back at my experiences, I've had my share of heart aches and pain. Because of the choices I made. Talk about fine you, fool you, forget you, I fell head first.
