Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Be gentle. Be gentle with yourself; be gentle with others. The demands of life can swallow up your day and make you feel that you have to rush, over-plan, or brush off conversational encounters. Instead take each day as an opportunity to be present, to recognize the need of deliberate choices for chores and down time. Seek opportunities to engage others in friendly and encouraging conversations. A kind word, a heartfelt smile, a helping hand, or a sincere compliment can make someone’s day. As an ambassador for Christ, you may be the only person that day who shared love and kindness to another. Make each day count. You will be blessed as you bless others.

In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 CJB
