Sweet Words
Sweet Words
Your words were sweet.
A treat
like honey dripping onto a parched tongue.
When actions weak
showed one come undone.
Your words were sweet.
Uplifted me
like a balloon to a brightening sky.
When just before
I'd pray to die.
Your words were sweet.
Magnificently heard
like a trumpeter heralding a king.
Sublime messages
made my heart sing.
Your words are sweet.
Bear repeat
like a song bird perched duplicating a cry.
I'll reciprocate.
Daily to try.
Sweet words do soar our spirits.
Helps a fledgling or wounded bird
to beautifully again... begin to fly.
"If you have any word of encouragement for the people, tell it."—Acts 13:15.

Encouragement is a power for good. “I have fought feelings of worthlessness for many years,” says Rubén. “But one time, I was preaching with an elder who realized that I was having a bad day. He listened with sympathy as I expressed my feelings. Then he reminded me of the good I was accomplishing. He also reminded me of Jesus’ words—that each of us is worth more than many sparrows. I often recall that scripture, and it still touches my heart. The elder’s words made a huge difference.” (Matt. 10:31) It should not surprise us that the Bible emphasizes the need for regular encouragement. The apostle Paul wrote to the Hebrew Christians: “Keep on encouraging one another each day, . . . so that none of you should become hardened by the deceptive power of sin.” (Heb. 3:13) You know how important the counsel to encourage one another is if you recall a time when words of encouragement lifted your spirits. w16.11 1:2, 3
