Humble.
Gentle.
Patient.
Bear with my husband in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit.
Peace.
Those are tall orders. Even just one of them, when pressed with the challenges of life, can be difficult.
These are the words the Lord speaks over us. The words He wants us to speak over ourselves.
I’ve been reading Charlotte’s Web to my daughter. Charlotte changes Wilbur’s destiny by the words she weaves into her web over his pen.
Charlotte changes the way Wilbur is viewed by the humans in his life and, ultimately, how Wilbur views himself. He begins trying to “live up to” the words that she uses to describe him.
As we begin to hear the words God speaks over us and declare them over our own lives, we will change how we are viewed, both by ourselves and others. We have the potential to change our lives when we speak God’s truth and change our behavior to line up with what He says!
So today, begin to “weave a web” of God’s beautiful words over yourself and believe that they are TRUE for you!
Love,
Rebecca
