Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 25:11-20, Daniel 2:24-3, Jude 1

Reflection Verses:  Proverbs 25:11-12

Reflection:  Beloved, all of us need encouragement from time to time. That is why encouraging words are so easily received. Encouraging words lift us up and infuse hope in us. Even words that seek to help us with a fault that we have are received when they are spoken in a wise and kind way. Let’s choose to be encouragers.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, may the words I speak encourage and lift the spirits of a person.  May my words be truthful and offered with kindness, and may they seek the best interest of the person they are spoken to… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
