Tell Him So

Poet Unknown

If you hear a kind word spoken

Of some worthy soul you know,

It may fill his heart with sunshine

If you only tell him so.

If a deed, however humble,

Helps you on your way to go,

Seek the one whose hand has helped you,

Seek him out and tell him so!

If your heart is touched and tender

Toward a sinner lost and low,

It might help him to do better

If you'd only tell him so.

Oh, my sisters, oh, my brothers,

As o'er life's rough path you go,

If God's love has saved and kept you,

Do not fail to tell men so!

I was just thinking about this poem and how much room I have for improvement in this area. There is so much good that we can do by simply speaking the right word at the right moment. 

Lord, help me to advance your kingdom as I use my words to glorify You and edify others!
