#CultureOfBlessing

Many of us are filled with questions in mind while growing up, as we mature and realize stuff in life, we begin to fear what our future truly brings. We cannot avoid to ask questions whether how our tomorrow will look like, it could be so ugly that every good thing in life is overshadowed by the negativity of our thought, or it will be so wonderful that every bad thing which exists around us is overshadowed by how positive we see life outside the box. This question makes "life" so mysterious.

It is a big question on why only the minority of human race are able to succeed in life. Almost everybody has wondered why life always ends up in misery. The truth is, there is a huge factor in the area of our upbringing carried out by our parents. The way they speak things to us when we were still kids is the reflection of how successful we become in the future.

Words can kill, words can heal. Words are not just words spoken by our mouth. Words have real power. During the wonderful creation, God spoke words in such a powerful way that by it the world was formed (Hebrews 11:3). Let us take note, Christ Himself was described as the "Word" (John 1), which means the word "word" is not just a mere word we speak. Every word that comes out from our mouth brings power and can impact life in two ways: bad or good. Words more than convey information. The impact of our words can actually devastates one's life and spirit, it can even stir up hatred and violence.

Our words have the power to destroy and the power to build up (Proverbs 12:6). The writer of Proverb tells us, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). Are we using words to build up people or destroy them? Are they filled with hate or love, bitterness or blessing, complaining or compliments, lust or love, victory or defeat? Like tools they can be used to help us reach our goals or to send us spiraling into a deep depression. 

Of all the creatures on this planet, only man has the ability to communicate through the spoken word. The power to use words is a unique and powerful gift from God. So, let every word that comes out from your mouth brings life to ears. Speak life and live life with the culture of blessing!
