Why Not Be…

I’m convinced that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it through to completion on the day of Christ Jesus. –Philippians 1:6 GW

Thinking and speaking positive words toward yourself and others is strengthening inwardly. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV). Don’t give in to your inner critic. Reprogram yourself to think favorably. When you change the dialogue of your thought life from critical to constructive, you build yourself up rather than tear yourself down. Put an end to negative thinking and unsupportive chatter. From A-to-Z think, speak, respond, and be: Be Amazing. Be Bold. Be Changed. Be Daring. Be Encouraging. Be Faithful. Be Genuine. Be Honest. Be Involved. Be Joyful. Be Kindhearted. Be Lovable. Be Mindful. Be Nice. Be Optimistic. Be Polite. Be Quiet. Be Renewed. Be Sincere. Be Teachable. Be Unique. Be Victorious. Be Wise. Be eXceptional. Be Yielding. Be Zealous if it serves a noble purpose (see Galatians 4:18).From the inside out, and from glory to glory, be reshaped, refashioned, and renewed into the image of Christ.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will renew your mind so you think and become the person God desires.

Ask God to make known to you who He would have you encourage and build up through powerful, positive, life-affirming words.
