Proverbs 25:11 "Like apples of gold in settings of silver is the word spoken in due season." (LBDLA)
Reading:
anyone ever told you a few words that helped you see something of value or unique about you that you had never seen?
That's what happened between Jill and Leanne. They met when Jill was the coach of the basketball team and daughter Leanne who was 13 Shelby was called years and was part of the team. Several years later, when I was in high school, Shelby was seriously injured and Jill gave encouragement and prayed for her and sent notes to the words most accurate and fair, that Shelby needed to hear.
One day, Leanne sent a letter thanking Jill for the great influence she was taking her daughter's life. In that letter, Leanne described the excellent qualities that Jill had noticed and referred to as a "shining light" that shone in the lives of many people, including hers.
Leanne did not know that a few months later, Jill would go to his empty apartment one night invaded by doubt, questioning the purpose of your life. Fighting clinical depression and living under the weight of feeling useless, Jill looked at the idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide. That night while questioning his fate, Jill opened her diary to write in it and a note fell out of it. When Jill opened it, he read the words of Leanne.
God used the words of Leanne to show Jill that she had a purpose in this life by which value worth living. The right words at the right time.
When another woman inspires us with words that go straight to the heart, the course of our lives can change forever. And when we believe in another person, God uses us for providing security and confidence to a soul that would otherwise have been paralyzed by doubt and insecurity.
I'll never forget my friend Janet who thanked me for some words he had written directly from my heart to her in a thank you card. For me it was a simple thank you card, but she meant more. Through something I said, God touched his heart. As a result, she encouraged me to write more notes. Your prayers and self-confidence in the long run is uncertain inspired young mother to write a Bible study.
God used that little Bible study, written more than 10 years to develop the future writer in me. He used a woman who believed in me more than myself to help me take the first step.
The right words at the right time.
Maybe you need to hear those words today. If so, can you say them that God through His promises:
For t ú you [a woman] of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, [daughter] holy. We belong to God himself. As a result, we can show others the goodness of God, because he called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
"But now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:" Fear not, I have redeemed you, I have called you by name, you are mine. "Isaiah 43:1 (NIV)
Because [you] are a masterpiece of God. He created you [ you] in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that [you] put them into practice. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
However, this [you] are more than conqueror [a] through Him who loved you [you]. Romans 8:37 (NIV)
The right words at the right time.
Let God's promises to settle in those areas of your heart that need encouragement today. And then ask Jesus how he could share. Perhaps there is someone in your life that need more than ever.
Dear Lord, I need your mind every day. Lead me to your promises in Your Word to strengthen me when I feel tired and edified me when I am destroyed. Help me to see and believe what you see in me, and then share it with others. I beg you to give me the words to the right time. In Jesus name, Amen.
