Watch Your Words

Here's a great quote I found.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

- - Frank Outlaw



With Gods help, we can change. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about perfection, I'm talking about choosing to let go of all the things that are keeping us from pursuing our God-given destiny. Although it may seem like we are moving at a snail's pace, we are moving forward.

Hebrews 12:1 says,

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

We cannot begin to imagine what God has in store for us. Only my limited belief or my poor choices can keep me from the destiny that He has for me. His plans are above what we think, and often seem impossible.

Every great achievement was once considered impossible. - Author unknown


This is becoming one of my favorite scriptures. Its found in Ephesians 3:14-21


For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all the saintswhat is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
That you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
