There are those who always say "well, i have no faith. I am a doubting Thomas. I am poor and weak". What is the effect of those words upon your self? if you are doubting, you will doubt the more. If you are weak, the words have made you weaker. If you have been useless before, you are even more useless now because the words have made it difficult for you to be anything other than what you have said.
In the final analysis; our words are a part of ourselves; they are ourselves. If your words are full of love and peace and fidelity, they are born out of your heart life. if your words are tinged with bitter venom and sarcasm, it is because there is a vat down inside of you that is filled with that kind of material.
You create a mental condition with your words. Your words go out into the air to thrill and throb in the hearts of those that listen.
Life is largely made up of words. We made love with words. We declare war with words. Divorces are made up of words. children become what words make them.
When i look at a child i can feel the throb of the words that have seeped into his consciousness before he left home. The mother's words of encouragement and comforts make the child what he is.
I venture to say that the girls and boys who break down in school because of stress over study and work are the results of poor mental atmospheres in their homes. these atmospheres are word atmospheres.
Let us be careful about words. Let's put the biggest, richest things into them. Let's put big ,rich words into the letters and articles that we write. let's fill our words with wonderful love, fresh from the heart of the father.
