When We Want To Encourage Others
Have you ever wanted to encourage someone who was struggling, but did not know what to say?
“The Lord GOD has given me a trained tongue, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word.” — Isaiah 50:4
Sometimes we speak before we fully appreciate the weight our words can carry. Sometimes we mean to comfort, yet still cause hurt.
The prophet reminds us that a life-giving word does not begin with speaking. It begins with listening. We learn to encourage others by becoming humble enough to hear, patient enough to learn, and compassionate enough to understand.
When we listen with empathy, care, and wisdom, we begin to recognize what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. We also begin to recognize when silence may be the kinder gift.
May we learn to listen with both heart and mind before we rush to respond.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
