Words can really change a person's life. Your encouraging words spoken to another may be the only ones they ever hear. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Not all that glitters is gold. We see these beautiful homes and we assume they are living the great life and there may be strife in the home. We see beautiful people and we automatically assume their life is bliss because of their looks yet they may have a spouse that abuses them. Don't hold back a kind word to someone because you think it will "go to their head" or because "they never say anything nice to me"...be like God, not like man. This world would be filled with kinder, gentler souls if we all tried to mirror the Lord and His ways and not copy what man does. I know how hard it is to be an encourager to a negative, mean spirit. I managed different personalities for years and years and I am here to tell you that no matter what their gender, age, or race was ...they all appreciated a kind, decent and uplifting word. I have had people come back years later recounting something I said to them that helped them through life and yet I don't even recall it....it is important that we show others God's love and respect, no matter what the circumstance. Give God the glory in all of it and I promise you, you are making an impact on them. And to God be all the Glory! Amen!!
Ephesians 4:29
