The Right Words...

Hi.....
Just came across this poem  and realized how important it is to speak the right, encouraging words especially when someone's really hurting.

Psalm 19:14 "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."

How often we pass by people who hurt and don't just seem to care.
I pray the Lord use each of us to pray for and encourage a hurting heart.
I pray He'll give us the right words to say. May our mouth speak words of wisdom.

Psalm 49:3 "My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the utterance from my heart will give understanding."I pray God will help us stop by and stretch out a hand to lift someone who is feeling tired and weak spiritually and speak words of encouragement.
It's when one's down the valley and hurting one wishes to see his/her fellow brothers, sisters, friends and loved ones around and listen to loving, encouraging words.

Ecclesiastes 10:12 "Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,....."

Let us ask God to put the right words in our mouths to lift up a hurting heart.

Jeremiah 1:9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.

And finally...

Ephesians 6:19 "Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel."

People will forget what you said.

People will forget what you did .

But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.

 Proverbs 25:11
A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

THE RIGHT WORDS

Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more  

To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know

That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do

Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light 

But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.
