a little goes a long way

Little encouragement do great and amazing things for people. Did you know that statistically over 1000 suicides are prevented each day because someone took the time to smile at someone else? I thought that was pretty sweet! Something as simple as a smile - the raising of the corners of your mouth - is enough to convince someone that their life is precious and worth living. if that's what a smile can do for someone, how much more can the love of Christ do for that person's life?!?! how many times do we have opportunity to share the gospel message with people, but instead just laugh at a crude joke or don't do anything at all? let's stand up for something good, something that truly is worth while.

I wrote a little while ago about curse words. Just a quick note on that; saying "curse" words may not be inherently bad, but it's the witness they give about us to thse that hear them that we need to be conscious of. think to yourself, "is what I'm doing or saying right now going to glorify God?"
