SOAP: Spread kind words

I’m super excited about the possibilities we can join together for from today’s SOAP…

Scripture:

Anxiety weighs down the heart,

but a kind word cheers it up.

–Proverbs  12:25

Observation:

Worry wears you (and others) down, but nice words encourage and bring happiness.

Application:

There is a lot of worry and anxiety out there. I may mot be able to change what is causing others anxiety, but I can spread joy, simply by being kind and encouraging.

Prayer:

Father God, thank you for this reminder to be kind and cheer those anxious hearts up around me, all while cheering myself up in the process. Thanks for making this great kind of ‘medicine’ which helps and helps the giver just as much as the receiver.

Please, Father, help this to reach those who can help others who are in darkness. Help each reader to touch at least one person today… and then help those who are touched have enough of a spark to pass it on.

I love you  God, Thanks for this encouragement.

A few things to think about…

Acts of kindness can be simple and they can be grandiose. They can take a lot of effort or they can be a breeze.. an open door, a compliment, a smile.

If you are looking for was to share kindness, I’ve got a few here in my Operation Kindness series. Or, my friend Robyn, who launched the Birthday Project to make birthdays about giving instead of getting, has a few more great ideas.

Thanks so much for reading.  I hope you decide to go share some kindness today… and always.
