Do share words of hope and encouragement with those around you?
Today's Scripture:
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
You talk all day long. You talk to coworkers, customers; maybe you even mumble to yourself at times. Estimations state that an average person speaks between 125 and 250 words per minute - that is quite a few words - that is quite a few words exchanging in a single conversation. With so much communication transpiring, it is important to realize the impact of words. Your words are powerful tools to use for encouragement to others and honor to God.
Using your words cautiously may not be so easy, nor may you consider it to be the natural response, especially in difficult conversations. However, you should censor your words before they are spoken. You could see your mouth as the filter for your words. Just as a water purifier filters out unhealthy substances, your mouth can catch the toxic material of your words and dispense only the healthy portions.
You can use conversation that is good for the encouragement necessary for others to thrive in their responsibilities.
Touch the lives of those around you with carefully chosen words.
As you carefully choose your words with others, you will honor God by your positive display of encouragement. Sometimes a person's whole attitude can change just because a kind remark or heartfelt compliment was given to him. Sharing even simple comments or how beautiful the day is or how lovely someone looks can bring glory to God and brighten some one's day.
Selah people' and friends check your communication filter. Dispense pure words of hope and affirmation by integrating sincere compliments and genuine appreciation in your conversations with your family, friends, coworkers and clients.
"What can you say to others today that will allow the Jesus in you to meet the Jesus in them?"
Your pastor,
