Have you ever had a rough day that was turned around when someone said something nice to you? It probably cheered you up a little, didn’t it? That’s because words are powerful. While we’ve all been on the receiving end of negative words, in today’s verse, an ancient and wise king named Solomon reminds us how we can use our words for the good of others.
“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.”
Proverbs 12:25 NIV
Life is full of highs, but it’s also full of lows. In the moments when nothing feels like it’s going the way we hoped it would, it’s easy to find ourselves wrestling with anxiousness, stress, and doubt.
Kind words become like a lifeline we can throw out to friends who might be weighed down or discouraged. Sometimes just one verse of scripture shared could save someone’s day. God loves you so much!
A compliment, an encouraging text, or even a comment on your social media platforms has the power to change the course of someone’s day! Life-giving words can make more of a difference than we sometimes realize.
Truth is, so many people are scrolling endlessly on social media today trying to while away the time and wait for the night to come so they can sleep again. It could be a good place to send an encouraging word through. You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
Find a nice quote, a word of encouragement, a verse of scripture, something that is sure to encourage someone and share it on your social media handles or send them directly to someone you know might need it.
One word is all it takes to make a difference! You are an amazing woman!
