Language influences behavior and self-perception. Your perspective, and how you choose to respond, and how you talk and think, shape your life. Proverbs 4:23 affirms, “Above all else, guard your heart with all diligence, for from it spring the issues of life.” With life’s ordeals, we can feel burdened by what is taking place all around us in our homes and our society, being rigidly influenced by it.
