Wise is the man, wise is the woman, who speaks
words that breathe life and build up and encourage and affirm. Wise is
the person who is forever alert to speak words of life, to a child, a spouse, a
friend, a student, a neighbor, a co-worker, a stranger, a store clerk, someone
who looks troubled.
Life-giving words! We can change lives forever! Words like these:
·
I love you.
·
I respect you.
·
I believe in
you.
·
I am so proud of
you!
·
You can do this!
·
You are so good at
painting!
·
I love the way you
shared your toys with your brother.
·
Could I pray for you
right now?
·
You are going to get
through this, for God will see you through.
·
I have been praying
for you every day.
·
I am so sorry; will
you forgive me?
·
Thank you so much for
that gift.
When words like these are spoken from the
heart, they breathe life into people.
