You are what you let stick to your heart.....

I am a person who needs positive words of affirmation....it's my love language. Over the course of my life, I have let awful words stick to my heart and allowed others to use words to control me. I have let those words stick to my heart and as a result I formed a negative opinion of myself.

You are what you let stick to your heart.

Whenever I look inside, I see those words stuck on my heart like little yellow sticky notes. They determine my choices, my thoughts and the outcome of my life.
You are what you let stick to your heart.

Those sticky notes have said: DUMB, UGLY, UNLOVABLE, MEAN, FEISTY, STUPID, LAZY, WORTHLESS....I could go on and on.

You are what you let stick to your heart.

Because of God's truths, my deep soul searching and the love of a wonderful man, those sticky notes now say: FUNNY, SMART, SWEET, LOVING, KIND, GENEROUS, HAPPY, LOVABLE, BEAUTIFUL, ENDEARING....and a thousand more.

You are what you let stick to your heart.

Never again will the wrong words get stuck to my heart...they just aren't sticky enough anymore.

"...my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God." ~ Psalm 84:2
