Session 7

Speak With Gratitude

From Life Hacks

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." Proverbs 18:21

The way we talk either causes death or life depending on what comes out of our mouths. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Speaking negatively causes hate and pain while speaking words of love and kindness bring life. If we will choose to cut out negative speech and talk with love towards each other, we can make life much better.

What would it do for your emotions and perspectives to speak positively? How do you feel when you express thankfulness about your life instead of negativity? It’s way better. When you speak love to others you will find life improve not only for yourself but for them as well. Negativity is unnecessary. You don’t need it! You don’t have to speak negatively about life and other people. Instead, speak with gratitude and love. Choose to speak with gratitude today and get rid of the speech that robs you of experiencing the life God has you. 

Prayer

1) Think for a minute about what your life would look like if you just spoke differently.
