HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS - 7 DAY PLAN | DAY FIVE | SPEAK LIFE

What we speak matters!

The smallest things that we speak out loud matter. You’ve probably seen posts on social media about an experiment where people talk to plants. They take two healthy plants and give them equal sunlight, water and nutrition but speak positive affirmations over one, and negative speech over the other. While the positive plant thrives, the negative one withers and dies.

If our words are that powerful over plants, how much more powerful are they over each Other?

Even the Bible talks about it:

Proverbs 18:21 NIV says:

"Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

How many times in the Bible have people been healed because of the word of life spoken over them?

Think about how many times you’ve heard someone who’s lost someone they care about comment, “I wish I’d had the chance to tell them how much they meant to me”. Why in the world do we wait for a funeral to say this stuff when we can speak life into the living and enhance our relationships right now? It’s crazy, isn’t it?

What about from your perspective?

How many times have you longed to hear a compliment, words of encouragement or affection, only to be left feeling alone, parched and dry in an arid desert?

Maybe you’re a person who thinks and feels deeply but can’t find the words? Well, it’s ok to get a little help...find a card, a song or a meme that resonates with your feelings and speak life using that, or maybe take time to sit and process and write a letter. These ways of speaking life are great because the person has something they can go to and read again when they need it.
