The Random Compliment

Has a stranger ever just randomly given you a compliment? Feels good doesn’t it? It makes the child in your heart smile and there’s a part of your brain that says, “Wow, that was nice to be noticed”.
 Why should the people inside the church doors feel or act any differently? Our church is designed to be a family, flaws and all. This is where encouragement and respite need to take hold.
I’m not saying we should randomly compliment others, but to be open to new perspectives as we walk out this journey He has set before us. Are you walking a journey with others?
So many of us in church-and out- are hurting but we hide it rather than share it. Healing often comes when we allow others to see, to help, to lovingly impact our lives.

Time invested in others is never wasted time. It’s truly just that, an investment whose returns may come when we are the ones needing help, needing healing.
 
Proverbs 16:24 NLT
“Kind words are like honey; sweet to the soul and healthy for the body
