– Scripture: 

 Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim.

                         Proverbs 15:4 MSG

– Reflection:

                            God Doesn’t Miss A Thing

You have something that will cause your spouse to blossom, your children to bloom, your loved ones to feel more secure. It’s not your money, your hard work, or your accomplishments; it’s your kind words. They need to hear how much you love them, how much you believe in them, how great you think they are. Today there are so many voices saying harsh things, being rude and demeaning, trying to push people down. We need to be just as bold and speak our mind in a positive way. God is counting on us to be healers, to be lifters, to be encouragers.

Where do we go from here?

Don’t let a day go by when you don’t say something kind to the people God put in your life. It’s not enough to just think it; your thoughts don’t nourish anyone. A blessing is not a blessing until it’s spoken. They need to hear, “I love you. I’m proud of you. You’re beautiful. You’re going to do great things.” Make it your business to nourish people’s souls, to bring healing and wholeness.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the people You have placed in our lives and the special role You have given us in their lives. Thank You that You can take our words of encouragement and bring healing and wholeness to them. Help us to see who we can bless and lift up today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
