FOR THE MOUTH SPEAKS WHAT THE HEART IS FULL OF




-----------------------
Was cruising down the Timeline, just watching a part of this great humanity go by in this little corner of the social media world. It's a huge crowd going to and fro and certainly leaving their footprints, knowingly or unknowingly, on the internet forever. No delete... no erase... no taking back. So be careful what you do on FB.
.
Went further down the bottomless timeline page (or so it seems) and stumbled upon this.. "Stop destroying your own life with your own words." ---Joyce Meyer.
.
Now that is interesting, isn't it??
.
Made me stop in my tracks. Made me think. So just what are those words which make us self-destruct?
.
I can cite a few, for instance when we say......... 'Mamalasin ako nito ah!' (This is bad luck for me.) -- 'Masisira diskarte ko nyan!' (This ruins everything for me.) -- 'Nawala na ang pagkakataon ko!' (I lost a good chance there.) -- 'Ang hirap naman umahon!' (Tough to get over this slump.) -- 'Hirap maghanap ng trabaho.' (So hard to find a job.) -- 'Sino ba ako?!! Isa lamang hamak na bubuwit laban sa kaniya!' (Who am I?! Am just an insignificant bloke.) -- 'Bobo ako eh!' (I'm dumb! or I'm stupid!) -- 'Tinatamad ako!' (I'm feeling lazy.) -- 'Wala akong pera.' (I'm broke.) -- 'Na-depress ako.' (I'm depressed.) ------Familiar to you, right? Many more out there unleashed without a thought.
.
Amazing what we do to ourselves... just by the mere words that we speak. We can create our good and our bad by the words that come out of our mouth. Listen to a person to what he says and you will know in good measure what his thoughts are. And those thoughts speak from the contents of his heart. When he feels it first in the heart... he thinks a lot about it in his mind... and to give way to expression he then talks about it. Whether with self (self-talk) or with others. The potential is all there to build up or put down.... to create or destroy.... for good or for bad whether self-inflicted or upon others. The power of our words.
.

'Garbage in, garbage out'... that's what a computer does and it all begins with what we put into it. And these verses come to mind, same principle with what God says to us...... - "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." (Luke 6:45).
.
And we do know that ....'Whatsoever you shall sow, so shall you reap.' --Galatians 6:7
.
So maybe we should be careful with our words. Same with the heart and the mind.
.
Thoughts of blessings to you, my friends. Be blessed and stay blessed.
