Life -Giving Words

Everywhere we go, there are people in need of life-giving words.  They are lonely and hurting; they’ve been through disappointments and suffered heartaches and pain.

God has given us something to offer these people–our words.  With our words, we can bring healing. With our words, we can lift other out of depression. We can help set people free from the strongholds that are keeping them back.  When you go through the day speaking encouragement, telling people what they can become or giving compliments, you are offering them hope and healing.  Your kind words are like pouring warm oil on wounds. You may not know all that is happening, but God can take one compliment, one encouraging word, and use that to begin the healing process and set another person on a brand new course.  Be on the lookout for someone you can bless with your words.  Tell people the truth about how awesome they are.  Be free with your compliments because you’re carrying life-giving words.  Who knows you could even be the spark that pushes others into their destiny.  When you develop this habit of blessing people with your words, God will always bless you because when you help others come up higher, God will make sure you too come up higher.
