What do your words say about your child? Are you speaking life or death to their dreams and desires, talents and gifts? Belittling and teasing them or building them up? If God created the universe with a word, does it make sense then to believe there is creative power in our words as well? “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!” (James 3:5). It’s a ‘little member’ but its power to influence others for good or for evil is far greater than its small size!”
