This past week, I saw a common theme with several people- hopelessness, defeat, and fear. My heart was grieved at the end of the week because so many people are hurting as a result of how cruel someone has been to them. People are wanting to walk away from their jobs because of how rude their supervisors are. Relationships are broken because of how demeaning one's partner is. It is sad to watch a person's spirit be abused and victimized.
Words are so important and powerful. You must believe this. Positive statements can affirm someone. We need to become encouragers of one another. Let your words be gentle and sweet as honey. "How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119: 103). Everyone needs to hear positive words because they sound so sweet. Positive talk soothes pain, it gives us the motivation to go on a little further, it inspires us, and it lifts us above our problems. Positive words reaches down and pulls us up, straightens our backs, lifts our head up, aligns our shoulders, and lifts our leg to step forward. It stirs our spirit up positively.
This week, make sure someone leaves your presence feeling that you sounded so sweet to their soul because you do not know what they are going through in their lives.
Have a sweet day,
Shaneka
