Be Positive

"The words "I am..." are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you are claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you."

--A.L. Kitselman

"3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark."

--James 3:3-5

Our words have a tremendous power, often far greater than we realize when we use them. We learn early on to be cautious in how we use them as they relate to others. We learn to not gossip, and not to talk bad about other people. What we must always remember though, is that our words have more power over ourselves than over anyone else. What follows an "I am" should always be something you feel good about being.
