LIFE-GIVING WATER
The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters... Proverbs 18:4 (NIV)
All over the world, there are people who are lonely, they are hurting, they have been through disappointments; they have suffered heartache and pain. As believers, God has given us something to offer them. We have life-giving, refreshing water in us. With our words, we can bring healing. With our words, we can lift them out of depression.
With our words, we can tell them, “You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are talented. God has a bright future in front of you.” Those life-giving words will break the chains of depression. They will break the chains of low self-esteem. You can help set people free from the strongholds that are keeping them back. You may not know all that is happening, but God can take one compliment, one encouraging word and use that to begin the healing process and set that person on a brand new course. And when you help break the chains off of others, any chains that you might have will be broken off, too!
Today, choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak life. Tell others what they can become, give compliments and live life as a healer. Pour out that life-giving water with your words and watch it come back to you in abundance!
Prayer
Father, thank You for allowing Your healing waters to flow through me by your precious Son, Jesus. I choose to pour out life onto others and refresh them with life-giving words. Direct my words, order my steps and let all that I do glorify You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Reference: Psalm 78:2; Proverbs 10:11; Proverbs 20:5
