Daily Dose 4-9-12


Proverbs 12: 25 Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
The words we speak – or fail to speak – to one another hold such power. With a kind word a person can lift the spirits and concerns of another who is struggling. A kind word or thoughtful gesture can bring hope and comfort to the weary. To the contrary, thoughtless ramblings can trample fragile hearts and bring oppression upon those who are challenged by life’s hardships and demands. But, what about the power of words never spoken? There are people who are lonely, alone and feel no one really cares. Solitude leads to feelings of rejection and unworthiness. If we are truly being the hands and feet of Jesus, we will look with our hearts to remember those who feel forgotten. Take time in your busyness to include someone who wants to be a part of your life. Often, it is small, simple things that matter most. Your words hold power. Use them for good today!
Father, Open my heart to see with Your eyes today someone who needs my kind words. Help me remember today someone who feels forgotten so I may be the hands and feet of Jesus and remind them of His love. Thank You for never forgetting me.
