Dear Uju

Walking in His Identity

Words

I have learned that there’s power in the words we speak, think or believe about ourselves and others. Truth is, I’ve not always gotten this right. God has been taking me through a journey of transforming my mind and heart with His powerful Words. I am grateful for the words I have read and heard that gave me a different perspective, the words that showed me that I needed to change my point of view and be redirected.

 

“For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.”

1 Peter 3:10
