Words are important. Like nothing else they have the ability to hurt, to help, or to heal. And the words that Jesus spoke two thousand years ago had, and still have, more power than any words ever spoken.
A word of encouragement can go a long way in strengthening hearts. Whether the word comes from a friend, a spouse, a stranger, or straight from God's own Word, encouragement has power. It let's us know we're not alone. We have a support group cheering us on as we go through life. Out of that support group, God is our biggest fan. He wants you to succeed, and His help is just a prayer away.
Compassion is a big part of learning to love others as Jesus did. It is more than having pity on someone. It is feeling so deeply what someone else is going through that you're moved to do something to alleviate their suffering. Open your eyes to the pain of those around you today, and then allow God to touch others' lives through you.
You can be Jesus' hands and feet in today's world by consciously putting yourself in a hurting person's shoes and letting compassion inspire you to action.
My prayer is that you would step out and do something radical for Jesus. I guarantee He will help you with the details.
For His Glory,
Dalinda
