It only takes one

It only takes one negative word to over-ride dozens of positive. I have negatives that I was told in elementary school that over-ride the hundreds of positives that I have heard since. I don't want it to be that way, but for me it is. I just decided today that I don't want to be that ONE anymore. I have said my fair share of negatives throughout my life and I am sure some of my words are still stumbling blocks for people. So with God's help I want to quit being the one or two or three or more negatives that are heard and start being a positive.

Tracy-
I would say you are on your way, you have made a decision and God will help you honor it, especially since that is what He desires also. I am sure you will have success in this area, but don't be discouraged if you slip, just repent and go on. I enjoy reading your post, I don't always comment, but I do read.

Tracy,
I too have a problem with negative words. I speak them waaaaay too often and they have been spoken over me. I hardly remember something good someone says about me, but the minute someone says something negative I hang onto it for a long time and it is so hard to let that one go. I know there are a lot of books on breaking the power of negative words, but they just seem way too easy. It is hard to get something out of your head. For me, it is easier to believe the negative than anything positive because I know me and my sinful nature. There has to be an easier way to just believe who God says we are. Let me know if you figure it out, I could use some insight too.

Hey- my first anonymous comment!

Thank-you, those were kind words.

After twelve years of wanting to serve Jesus I think I am finally realizing He does Love me!
That's an awesome feeling!
