Whether they originate from others or from our own consciousness, words have power. I am sure you concur. As an adult, I can still recall the words spoken over me, sometimes negative and sometimes positive. We must view these words as seeds sown in our hearts. They eventually affect our actions, disposition, and, in some cases, our future.
