In light of yesterday's topic, I wanted to remind you of how important it is to speak the truth. I've mentioned the value of spoken words before (http://jprice-beauty4ashes.blogspot.com/2012/03/lent-day-20-powerful-speech.html), but I know I need reminding every once in a while. And recently I've been thinking about this in relation to other people - what am I speaking and praying and believing about the people in my world? Am I speaking anything over them at all? I so often forget to pray for my long distance family and friends as I don't see and hear from them daily. Prayer is such a powerful tool and I truly believe our mighty God can put our positive, truth filled words to use over miles and miles, but only if we take the time to express them to Him!
I also believe that speaking the truth over the people we encounter throughout the day has the power to change our perspective. Imagine how we would treat coworkers, clients, or even our family if every time we looked at them we reminded ourselves, " that's a beloved child of your King!" I know I would act a lot more graciously. So, today I leave you with another directive: Speak truth!
