Ever have trouble sleeping because you were concerned about somebody? Whether it was your child struggling through adolesence; your best friend who lost their job; your parent battling injury - we've all had those nights. This week's song, "The Words I Would Say" by Sidewalk Prophets, is a great example of how we can overcome challenges like these. Inspired by 1 John 4:18, the song helps us work through many situations in life. Doesn't it also pose the unspoken suggestion that these might be the words our heavenly Father would say to us? So whether we're reaching out or searching inward, this SOTW offers encouragement and support.
These are still tough times for most of us. I like the message: don't be afraid; care for each other and share God's love. Lets remember to drop a card to someone who could use a smile, send an e-mail to that person you've been worrying about. Go see your family and show them how important they are in your life. Put a little note of encouragement in your child's lunch box or school planner. Don't know how to start? - "The Words I Would Say" offers some great suggestions: Never give up hope. You're going to do great things. Take time to pray. Remember why you're here. Be strong in your faith.... Who wouldn't be uplifted by these messages AND by the simple act of kindness??
