Life-giving words

Speak life-giving words to others every chance you get.

Sounds easy enough…or so I thought when I heard this at church a few weeks back. Since then I’ve noticed that sometimes I do hold back life-giving words. I let my own insecurities and laziness get in the way of speaking the encouraging words that I know I’m meant to speak, and I truly want to change that. I’m determined to take action and stop making excuses.

Recently I watched Jamie obey God and he got to be a part of a process that brought healing and faith to his family during a hard time. We all grew closer to God and to each other because of the life-giving words he spoke. I’m thankful for a husband, who encourages me through his actions, and pushes me to be more obedient. God answers prayers and is faithful and I want others to see how real and powerful He is. I want to speak life-giving words and see God change lives.
