God bless!

        You may read the title of this devotional and assume I’m talking about your emotions but I’m not. I want to speak to your ears today. Yes your ears! Our heart is controlled by what we hear and our eyes see what we believe. Is this deep? No, I’m not going for deep today I’m simply trying to keep things real. What we hear whether it be from our mouth or the mouth of others will steer our heart. If we allow our heart to be directed by negativity we will live in that fashion, but if we begin to speak positive and surround ourselves by positive voices we will turn things around for good. How do I know? Experience. During the hardest times of my life the only thing besides God that has gotten me out has been my words and those of the mouths around me. If it wasn’t for positive words I would not be here today. Thank God for those around you today that encourage and bless you. It’s hard to find people that encourage you so when you do hold on to them. Remember encouragement is not found at the bottom of a bottle or from the tip of a needle, it's found in the midst of an impossibility.
