" Victoria was walking through the church hallway after a service one day when she saw a young lady coming toward her in a crowd of people. As she passed her, Victoria looked her in the eyes and said, “You are so beautiful.”
They had a five-second conversation, and then they both went on their ways. That young lady told me a couple of weeks later that Victoria’s small kindness marked a turning point in her life. She had been through an abusive relationship. She felt so unattractive, so bad about herself, and beaten down by life.
She said when Victoria told her that she was beautiful, it was as if she’d broken the chains holding her back. Something came back to life inside her. The scripture says, “A kind word works wonders.” All through the day we can serve God by speaking kind words, offering compliments, giving encouragement, and lifting up those around us.
“You look great today.”
“I appreciate you.”
“I believe in you.”
“I’m praying for your family. "
