"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." Proverbs 12:25 (NIV)
King Solomon said that a heavy heart can weigh a man down, but a kind word of consolation can lift him up.
When people are mourning, grieving, depressed, or down in the dumps, some times all it takes is a kind word, words of consolation and comfort, or just a shoulder for them to lean on, that is all that they need to get them through a difficult moment in time. Everybody who needs our help does not need our money. Just being there for them physically, or a call on the telephone can make a world of difference in how they feel. So, as the songs say, "reach out and touch some body's hand" and they may say that "you are all that I need to get by." It is God The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of compassion and The God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. (2 Corinthians 1 3-4)
