Words Accomplish Much

By Kay Heitsch

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much. ~ Kindness Quotes ~

I've heard that we believe more about what we say to ourselves than what others say about us. So if that's true, and I think it is true, we need to say kind words to ourselves and others.

Our Bible verse says, "Worry can rob you of happiness, but kind words will cheer you up." Proverbs 12:25 GNT

Why rob ourselves of happiness by worry? Instead, think and speak kind words not only to others but also to ourselves.

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.

The Essence Of Life

Nothing feels better than knowing God loves you, that He is always there for you, and that He will always take care of you. ~ The Essence of Life Quotes ~

There's a beautiful feeling when you know that God loves you. He is always there for you and will always take care of you. But sometimes, we forget. When we do, it causes worry and stress.

Our Bible verse says, "Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!" 2 Chronicles 16:11 ESV.

When we are continually aware of the LORD's presence and strength, we know He loves us, He's with us, and He will always take care of us. Knowing this helps to relieve the pressures of life.

Nothing feels better than knowing God loves you, that He is always there for you, and that He will always take care of you.

Nineteen days ago, our son-in-law's niece, Courtney, had brain surgery for a tumor on her brain. This was not her first brain surgery. A few months ago, she also had one. So did Courtney have reasons to fear and feel sorry for herself? Yes, but she didn't let fear stop her.

God Knows How

Let go and let God. Let Him take over your life and run it. He knows how. ~ Dr. Norman V. Peale Quote

I knew next to nothing about letting God take over my life when I started to read Doctor Peale's books. I didn't understand what that meant until after Todd died.
