Thoughts on the Word
As a child some of the sweetest words you ever heard were words of praise. A little girl’s self-esteem grows by leaps and bounds when she knows that her parents are proud of her. “You did well with your recital.” “You did well when you took care of your little brother.” “We are very proud of the way you handled yourself.” “We know you’ve worked hard, and you did well.”
Husbands love to hear it from their wives and wives long to hear it from their husbands. Friends love to hear, “Well done” from the lips of a friend. These two words can give so much encouragement. These two words provide so much strength. These two words can keep a person going when they are weary and weak. These two words can lift our spirits. These two words can change a day and can change a life.
No matter how much we love to hear “Well done!” from another human being, and no matter how many times we hear them in this world, there will be no comparison to how it will sound when we hear the Lord say it when we finish this journey.
