You are a delight

“You are a delight, not just to Me, but to others in the body of Christ, your family, your job and in your area and nation.  Do not doubt it!  Where you have submitted your tongue to Me, and your heart to love others, you have been like Christ to them.  My pleasure is over you.  Where you have spoken beautiful soothing things into sore relationships, you have bestowed beauty and blessings to battered believers and your words have been seen and heard.  Rejoice that you have made a difference.

Believe Me that you display My beauty.  Thank you for choosing the voice and words when speaking with others that I long to speak to them.  They see Me through you.”

1 Peter 4:10 NIV UK “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Have you ever received an email or a text when you are feeling at rock bottom? On a day when there seems to be ‘a dark day in your soul’, and you struggle to rise above it?  When you read your Bible, speak to encouraging friends etc, but on those particular days, nothing seems to lift the cloud. Then you receive a message that is exactly what you needed to hear.

 Reminds me of the scripture about “a word in season” Proverbs 15:23 says “A man takes joy in a fitting reply – a word in due season, how good it is.”    Isaiah 50:4 “The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary.”  Our Lord and Friend is so faithful!  He knows exactly what we need to hear.

There are many weary around us – looking for hope and encouragement.

Let’s be ones who bring refreshing from the Presence of the Lord – as we are refreshed in His Presence -allowing Holy Spirit to flow through us to the dry and weary ones around us.

God’s rich blessings
