“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver”…….Proverbs 25:11

As I go through my travels I run across people who are truly hurting.  Often times you can see the hurt written all over their face. However, many times the hurt is either hidden or covered up by expressions like, “Life is good,” when in effect it is just the opposite.

The phrase above stating that words need to be ‘fitly spoken’ refers to words of encouragement, support and affirmation.  People need to hear these types of words and when I find myself using words these to help other I often times inspire myself to continue the race of life.  It is then that I feel this is exactly what Christ wants me to do. Try these and you will start liking yourself and the world around you a lot better.
