Words are elemental. I was watching the “Dark Girls” documentary last night wit my wife and it was clearly pointed out that the words that people have spoken to them have far reaching consequences. The mother who praised her daughter’s virtues and looks but then added at the end," if she was only a few shades lighter, then she would be the most beautiful girl" was shattering to her daughter. I once had a former student visit with her 1 year old child who she referred to as "He"s bad" so I told her that what she speaks into that child by faith will be. She did take what I said to heart and her son was always well behaved on other visits. By the words of our mouths we are either freed or ensnared.
Then get to a tanning booth and work on that past®y complexion.
