       Again, we are talking about the ‘fruit’ of our mouths, the good things that we say that make our lives better. If we say things like, “I believe I can do this,” when we are doing something that we find difficult, we speak life into our lives, and we bear good fruit from it. If we say things like, “I believe I can do this,” when we are doing something that we find difficult, we speak life into our lives, and we bear good fruit from it. If we say, “I believe my son is going to get better at his football,” again we speak life in our situation. If we say when looking into the mirror, “I look good. God has crafted me, and I am good looking,” we feel better about ourselves. The Apostle Paul taught us that love believes all things and hopes all things (see 1 Corinthians 13:7, ESV). He also said that two of the three most important things in life, attitudes that we can have, are faith and hope. A lot of time we are focused on love, which is good, but there is also ‘faith’ and ‘hope’ which are important for us. We exercise our ‘faith’ when we believe good for ourselves and others, and ‘hope’ when we believe good will happen in the future. This is just not ‘feel good’ stuff I’m talking about, but this is important for us if we want to live successful, happy lives.
