Message

Our words can either help and heal or wound and destroy. Linda lives in the same neighbourhood with some children who attend the same school with her. She was a friendly girl. She had many friends in her neighbourhood and would always invite them to her church programmes. However, there was a particular girl Bella, who she had never invited. They thought she was proud. Many of them didn’t know that she was unhappy because the woman she was living with did not treat her well. One day, Linda approached the girl and greeted her. Linda asked her why she usually would not join other children to play, and the girl said that her guardian would not allow her to do so. They became friends from that day.

One evening, Linda visited Bella in her house and asked the girl’s guardian if she could sometimes come to play with Bella. The woman said ‘Yes’. After a while, Linda told the woman she wanted Bella to attend a special children programme in her church. The woman agreed to release Bella because Linda had always been polite. Linda told Bella that Jesus loves her and she also loves her. The girl could hardly believe her ears – she had never heard anyone say that she was loved. She attended the programme and her life and attitude changed for the better after that; Linda’s kind words brought help and healing to Bella because she was also a friend of Jesus. Let your words bring people to Jesus for help and healing.
