The words that parents, peers, friends and teachers have said to us have the power to shape us. Persons can be misshaped by accusing and degrading words. They have difficulty getting past these echoes in their brain. Know that the God who spoke words over creation and changed chaos into good can do the same for us. We need to learn how to dwell with His good words. “I love you”. “I am for you.” “I am with you.” “I will not give up on you.” “I am your healer.” “I am with you always.” His words about us must replace all others about us. Listen! Truly listen! They will reshape you.
