Affirmation.... Accentuate The Positive

The soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is Affirmation. (āf'ər-mā'shən)
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the noun affirmation as:
Something declared to be true; a positive statement or judgment.

I changed the format of this blog to a word a day for a good reason. That reason is - the power of the words we use. The more negative words we use, the more negative we tend to become. Our vocabularies reflect our state of mind, and influence the state of mind of others.

Words are powerful tools, they can be useful to our up building (as in compliments) or destructive to our souls (as in cursings). Remember that scripture tells us that God spoke the world into existence!

A limited vocabulary can be very dangerous to our growth, if we have more negative words in our vocabulary than positive. But, it's also important that we know what the words that we use mean. Quite often misunderstandings happen simply because we don't really know what we've said, or what others are saying to us.

As we arm ourselves with both words and understanding, we can be a positive force to those around us. Choose your words carefully. Never stop learning new ones, and make sure you understand the words you use.

Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
