Healing Words 6-16-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are One with the Father, One with the Holy Spirit, and yet, in the mystery of Your grace, You humble Yourself to be one within me and all who all on Your name. So I call on Your name, now at the beginning and throughout my day. ... "Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up.... Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body" (Proverbs 12:25 and 16:24). Yesterday I stopped in Knoxville to have lunch and spend some time with my oldest daughter who's away at college on my way to minister at Lake Junaluska. As I got back on the road, I realized how deeply her kind and healing words were ministering to me. They were the kind of words, spoken so naturally in conversation over burgers and fries, that continued to linger in my heart and soul. They were the kind of words a father longs to hear but never dares to ask to receive. And as Elizabeth's words continue to wash over me in waves of healing love even this morning, I realize they're Your words, spoken through my daughter to my heart. They are sweetness to my soul and health to my body. They are "spirit and life" to me (John 6:63). Now as I rise to go share the gospel of Your Kingdom today, let Your healing words of spirit and life flow out of me into the hearts of others. As I have been encouraged and comforted, anoint the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart to be an encouragement and comfort to those who need to hear a good word today. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
