When you say something to a friend, give a compliment to a coworker, tell your friend that you love them or encourage a neighbour, it can seem like a simple thing, no big deal. Proverbs 16:24 says, “Kind words are like honey - sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” You can make someone healthier by speaking kind words.

Just a simple compliment such as, “You look beautiful today. You did great on that presentation,” nourishes their soul. When you tell a friend, “I love you. I’m blessed to have you in my life,” that’s not only going to make your relationships stronger, but it’s making him/her feel more secure.

When you call a friend who’s down and say, “I’m thinking about you, I care, you mean the world to me,” that’s not just encouraging them, it’s bringing healing to their body. Don’t miss. The people around you need what you have. Your kind words can be what pushes them into their destiny.

That’s how they are going to become all they were created to be. If you weren’t raised in a family that spoke kind loving words, you can be the one to start it.

Without your nourishment, life would be more difficult for your family, children. The reason some people aren’t flourishing is that they never hear any compliments.

God created us to need one another. You have something that will cause your friend to shine. It’s not your money, hard work, accomplishments; it’s your kind words. They need to hear how. Don’t let a day go by when you don’t say something kind to the person whom God put in your life.

It’s not enough just to think it, your thoughts don’t nourish anyone. A blessing isn’t one until it’s spoken. They need to hear, “I love you. I’m proud of you, you’re beautiful, you’re going to do great things.” Make it a habit of speaking kind words that go down into their spirit and bring a new level of confidence.
