There is so much power in positive affirmations. Throughout the bible, God is constantly affirming who we are.

He affirms that we’re more than a conqueror. He affirms that we’re above and not beneath and that we’re the head and not the tail. The good news is that there is immediate change in our attitudes and the way we feel when we’re being fed positive affirmations.

I love how Philippians 4:13 affirms that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. In other words, when we feel like we’re at our lowest, or when we don’t have the talents, the abilities or the education to perform an act, this scripture reaffirms any doubt that we may have.

I was out and about driving today and I saw where someone wrote graffiti on an over-passing. The message simply said, “You are beautiful!” I saw that and it immediately put a feeling of ease because I thought about so many young woman who were told otherwise. I overjoyed over the fact that so many people will go under the bridge and time after time, they’re going to be reaffirmed that they are beautiful.

I then thought about all the propaganda that’s programmed into our minds day in and day out through billboards on the highway, television commercials, and radio ads. I wondered what it would be like if all of these mediums were self-affirming in one way or another.

But know today that you have the power to change your thoughts. You have the power to control what enters your mind. Don’t allow these negative television commercials and ads to take control over you. Make a decision to immerse yourself into the Scriptures. There are positive affirmations throughout the scriptures. Pick up a good book or listen to something inspiring today and notice the difference as you charge forth on your journey of life!
