Our tongue is one of the most evil devices ever created.
With it we can cause tremendous damage, not only to others, but to ourselves too.
You might ask, “Is what I say really such a great deal?
Yes, it makes a world of difference.
The Bible even states that life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)
You see, we have to understand how this works. Day in and day out we are bombarded with bad news from the world around us. Even though we are not aware of it, this produces negative thinking in our minds.
These thoughts come to our mind automatically, we cannot help thinking them.
But we can choose to receive them or not. At this point we can still analyze the information and decide if we accept it or not.
Now, you cannot drive bad thoughts out of your brain by forcing yourself to think good thoughts. It won’t work.
And this is where the tongue comes in.
The only way you can either drive out bad thoughts or accept them is by using your tongue.
A person who is facing a challenging situation could start vocalizing his fears. In this case, he or she will be talking death. The battle is already lost even before it started, because the tongue has programmed this person for failure. He or she has chosen to accept those thoughts and gave birth to them the moment he or she confessed them with their tongue.
The good news is that, just as the tongue is powerful to kill and destroy, it is also powerful to edify and succeed. As a matter of fact, that is what it was designed for in the first place!
God, our Creator, gave us this powerful tool to set our faith in motion. Faith is believing without seeing. So, if you encounter a challenging situation in life, you talk God´s promises over that thing instead of confessing your fears and negative thoughts.
By doing this, you will have set this most powerful mechanism in motion and the outcome of your endeavors will be of victory, not defeat.
Oh, and remember…
“Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.”(Psalms 34:13)

A few days a go I saw a picture of the biggest diamond that mankind has ever discovered.
I have to admit that, to my uneducated eye, it appeared to be a regular piece of glass.
That is how we often view our own talents and skills. To God they are like precious stones, because He knows their true potential, but they don’t seem very special in our own eyes.
Many times we look at what is in our hands and it doesn’t seem like much to us. Sure, we have this strength, but so do many others and they seem to excel in them much more than we do.
Be careful when these kind of thoughts cross your mind! Motivate yourself. You might be throwing away a piece of glass that in reality is a diamond in the rough.
If you think your talents are no big deal, you might be struggling in one of these areas:
Don’t Despise Small Beginnings
Anybody who ever excelled in anything had to start from scratch. In some point of their lives they determined to take that diamond in the rough and work and train and drill themselves until all its beauty could unfold.
We have to keep in mind that, when we admire the accomplishment of somebody, we are seeing the fruit of a long—and often painful–process of development. This time of preparation is most often lived in silence. A silence in which many a tear was shed and many a drop of sweat was brushed from the brow.
During this time of silence these people were nobodies. They were on their own, pushing and pressing while no one else but God believed in them.Not many successful people talk about the difficulties they encountered on their way to success, because, in the light of victory, the dark moments of the battle are quickly forgotten.
Perfectionism
Are you a so called overachiever? Do you pride yourself in setting high standards? Then you might have fallen into the trap of perfectionism.
Perfectionism is the enemy of everything that could have been good. It limits our capabilities, because, whatever we do, it will never be good enough. If perfectionists can’t attain a certain level, they just don’t do it because they have high standards and can’t settle for less. It’s a recipe for failure.
The root of the problem with perfectionists is that it is all about them. God has an amazing plan for them, but it’s not for their glory. It’s for His.
Hold Your Gifts Up to God
Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fish and a loaf of bread. Before doing that He held them up to God and God performed a miracle. Likewise, you can also hold your meager, unpolished talents and skills up to God in faith. He will empower them and multiply them beyond anything you could ever imagine.
Oh, and remember…
“For the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29)

It seems that, no matter what we plan or think or do, life is pretty unpredictable.
The world around us is changing and changing fast. The media is bombarding us with news about economic and social instability and often even our own little square foot of world we live in doesn’t seem secure anymore.
Nevertheless, in the midst of all this confusion, there is one thing that has not changed:
God cares for you. He wants to bless you. He wants to increase you. And He wants to use you.
Nobody has been put on this planet to be average. There is so much potential in every human being.
You are here for a reason and it is to glorify Him in all you do, whatever that is.
Even though the circumstances around you are overwhelming, today I want to tell you that there is a way to live in peace in the midst of all the turmoil and mess this world may be in. It is in the middle of His will for your life.
I strongly believe that every human being has been divinely endued with a unique combination of gifts and talents that can be successfully developed by unleashing the power of a self-directed learning process.
But, like in any other project, you’ll need a blueprint, a foundational plan to take your raw individual gifting to a level of fulfillment and success.
Most of us are clueless about how to get where we want to go.
Here is help:
1.- Don’t try to figure out everything on your own, ask God, He knows better.
2.- Rest in the assurance that He is still on His throne, and He is NOT wringing His hands, wondering about what could be done. He has already provided a means for you to live a victorious life. All you have to do is find out about it.
3.- Now you are ready to go! Embrace life with joy and be expectant about what He is going to do today in your life. Let Him surprise you!
Oh, and remember…
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have you inscribed on the palms of My hands.” (Isaiah 49:15,16)
G.F.I.
Go For It! You are precious to God and He is right there, yearning to be a part of your life.
