Have you ever stopped  to think about the power of your words. Words have the power to destroy or build, wound or heal, bring about clarity or confusion. We must learn to take responsibility for our words. I often have the opportunity to work with people that are struggling with their self image. Once I was talking to a group about how to use words to help create the future that they want for their lives. As I was speaking, I used this one young lady as an example. I told her that this was just an example. I went on to say that when I first meet her, I thought she was one of the ugliest most unattractive girls  I had ever seen. Knowing that what I said was not true and simply role play, her whole countenance changed and she dropped her head and was no longer able to give me eye contact. I immediately reminded her that this is just an example, and that I actually thought the exact opposite of her. At that very moment her head lifted, a smile came to her face, and she turned away because she was blushing. One sentence of words began to destroy her self image even more, and another set of words began to build up and repair it. Our words are like missiles shot out of our mouths, and they will hit their target and produce according to their nature.

So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where I sent it to.
