Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Have you ever listened to the things you say? Are you an encourager or do you tend to be one of those well-meaning souls, always able to point out the negative of every situation? Do you encourage those around you to keep going, to keep dreaming, to believe or do you point out how they could’ve done better if they had only . . ..
There have been many times in my life when I failed and I knew it! To make matters worse there were moments when there was someone there to point out my failures. It is not a pleasant thing to be reminded of your downs!
On the other hand, there is something to be said about running into an ‘encourager.’ Have you ever met that person? Regardless of how bad you failed, they lift you up, brush you off and remind you that everything is going to be okay!
The Lord has blessed me abundantly with ‘encouragers.’ Oh every so often I still encounter the person that likes to point out my faults, but more so than not, it seems I am crossing paths with ‘encouragers.’ They have been planted into my life for a season . . .to encourage at just the right moment.
My point to all to all of this is very simple; words of encouragement can heal and restore! When we encourage someone, we just may be the voice that turns everything around. When we allow the love of God to flow through us by encouraging those around us someone’s life will be touched!
I know, because I am one of those lives that’s touched on an ongoing basis by brothers and sisters in Christ, that hear the voice of God and flow with words of encouragement!
Lord I am so thankful for the people you have put into my life! Brothers and sisters that are a reflection of your love! They always seem to send an email or drop a note or ring my phone – always at just the right time. I am encouraged because I know their love for You reaches everyone that crosses their path!
Thank You, in Your mighty Name, AMEN!
