Your words carry...

When you see someone who is struggling, who is discouraged, who is not up to par, how do you respond? Or do you? Sometimes it's easier to look the other way, choose to be preoccupied with our own lives and not be attentive to those who needs us. Our words can be what keeps a person going.  More than ever, we need to let the encouragement flow. We need to tell others how much we care about them, how we value them, and tell them that they are talented and creative.  Remember, with your words you carry hope, healing, and encouragement,  pour it out everywhere you go. Instead of telling people what they’re doing wrong, instead of pointing out all their faults, find what they are doing right. Focus on the good. There are already enough critical, judgmental people in the world. Choose to be someone who takes the time to lift someone else up, encourage others and empower them to move forward into the life they are capable of having.
