In this episode, we’re talking about the power of affirmation—and how one word of encouragement can change someone’s outlook, even their future. I share a personal story of a young man who didn’t know how to affirm himself until someone spoke life into him. That moment became a turning point, not just for him, but for me too. ✨ Jesus was the ultimate Affirmer. He saw people not just as they were, but who they were becoming. We’re called to do the same—for others and for ourselves. 📝 Journaling Prompt: Who has affirmed you? Who can you affirm today? 💡 Challenge: Commit to one intentional word of affirmation today—either to someone else or to yourself. 💙 Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:29 🙏 Closing Prayer: We ask God to use our words to build up and reflect His love. 👋 Let’s Connect: For more encouragement, visit ichoosetoday.org. 📣 Coming Up Next: I Choose Today to Seek Deliverance
