Whatever you speak into the lives of those around you will rise up in them! So, if you focus on their sin that will rise up in them. However, if you speak of their potential it will be that potential that grows! If we speak to them of their lack or of their failings it will be that that rises up but if we speak of the security they can find in God, His love for them, their importance to Him it will be that that rises up! We need to be very careful how we talk to people, what we talk about and how we speak God into their lives!
Thank you Nathan, I really needed this reminder today!
