Cheap Talk?

You have heard it said that talk is cheap, and that grand ideals are easy to articulate and hard to implement. My word even tells you not to love only in word and tongue but in deed and truth. Yet my word also has weight, substance, and authority. Deeds are preceded by words which are preceded by thoughts. You give substance to your thoughts by speaking them aloud. Have you observed that people generally get what they consistently declare, for better or for worse? Do not abuse this principle for selfish gain, but take heed to give substance to your thoughts and intentions by speaking them aloud consistently and with conviction.
