Thoughts Powerhouses

“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.” – Peace Pilgrim: Born Mildred Norman, a peace activist and spiritual leader

78 years prior to Peace Pilgrim becoming a peace activist, Mary Baker Eddy shared the idea that the thoughts we think are powerful.

“You are a law unto yourself. Sin and disease must be thought before they can be manifested. The wrong thought should be arrested before it has a chance to manifest itself.” Science & Health With Key To The Scriptures The body is governed by mind; and mortal mind must be improved, before the body is renewed and harmonious, – since the physique is simply thought made manifest.” Miscellaneous Writings

So I am striving to pay close attention to what comes out of my mouth. Reminds me of that Bible passage Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Well, we are the first ones to hear our own words, so those words better be building up and ministering grace to ourselves as well as those that hear us.
