Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death,
God created by speaking. He made us in His image, His likeness. He made us to be like Him. He imagined us, then spoke us into being. We also have imagination, and are creative in building what we have imagined. So our words are also very powerful.
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
We can speak life or death to another. So our thoughts should be in line with the good thoughts God has for us. We can train ourselves in righteousness in allowing positive thoughts to fill our minds. Focus on what good we see in others, not their faults. Remember the goodness of God toward us all and what we focus on will fill our vision, allowing the negative to fade into the background. Then we will live out that great Salvation that He has put inside us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
