If You Don’t Have Something Good to Say

[ 0 ] April 30, 2010 | stephenlawes

If you don’t have something good to say, chances are you won’t have much impact in the Ministry of Encouragement. There is a short post and video on A Jesus Moment called Telling it Like it Could Be that you might want to read and watch. The article suggests that there is something better than just telling it like it is, which is telling it like it could be. This is important in The Ministry of Encouragement. We need to be speaking words that build people up, that encourage them to persevere and to press on. So often, we have used our words for negative reasons and hurt people rather than bless them. We have used sarcasm to say things that really don’t need to be said. We have offered criticism where none was requested. There is so much power in our words. Let’s make the decision to speak words of life and blessing and not words of death and destruction. Always speak the truth, but speak it in love.
