Speak...

^{1 Peter 3 : 9-11}

⁹ not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead;

for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

¹⁰ For, “THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS,
MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.
¹¹ “HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD;
HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.

Watching what we speak, good or bad, has a reflection in our daily living.. As well as the way we speak.

You could say something positive, but if your tone is negative then your message comes off as negative.

The way we speak is just as important as what we speak.

I know you all have heard the saying,

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all”

or

“Kill them with kindness”

The saying “kill them with kindness” can still coincide with the way you say it..

Speaking kindness in a sarcastic tone is still negative, people.. LOL!!

Try this on for size:

Throughout your day speak nothing but positive attributes..

When you feel the urge to speak of something that is not in HIS nature,

stop yourself and thank HIM for your new found self awareness of positive speaking/thinking!!

At the end of your day, reflect on how your speaking of good changed your day and outlook on life.

I would love to hear some feedback!!

May God Bless You All J
