  Hello everyone and welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin. I'm Angel Santana.

  Today I want to talk to you about something simple but incredibly powerful.
• 1:03
  A kind word. The power of a kind word.
• 1:07
  And you know, we live in a world where people can be quick to criticize.
• 1:11
  Quick to judge, quick to point out what someone did wrong.
• 1:16
  But the Bible reminds us in Proverbs chapter 16 verse 24, For gracious words
• 1:22
  are like honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
• 1:27
  Think about that for just a moment. Words can heal.
• 1:30
  Words can encourage. Words can completely change something in somebody's day.
• 1:36
  You might not realize it, but something as simple as saying,
• 1:40
  I appreciate you, or you're doing a great job, or even I'm praying for you,
• 1:46
  can make a huge difference in someone's life.
• 1:48
  Because the truth is you never know what someone is going through.
• 1:53
  The person standing next to you at work might be carrying stress that they haven't talked about.
• 1:59
  The person serving your coffee might be dealing with something difficult at home.
• 2:04
  The person sitting next to you in a church might be silently fighting a battle.
• 2:09
  And one kind word, one moment of encouragement might be exactly what they needed to hear.
• 2:16
  Jesus often did this. He spoke life into people's others ignored.
• 2:22
  He lifted up the broken. He reminded people that they mattered.
• 2:26
  So today, here's a simple challenge. Look for an opportunity to encourage someone.
• 2:32
  Send a message. Say thank you.
• 2:35
  Tell someone you appreciate them. Because sometimes the smallest words can make
• 2:40
  the biggest difference. and that's something worth thinking about today.
• 2:45
  Remember that and never forget, you matter. Have faith.
• 2:50
