If you are an encourager, go ahead and encourage someone today. Stop living inside of your head. So many times, someone has come across my mind and I would wonder,"hmm where have they been?" At other times, I stopped and called their name in prayer. But lately, God has me using technology and either texting or calling them to let them know that they came across my mind.
Nine times out of 10, the individual needed my word, text or call because they were going through a rough patch and needed an uplift. Don't despise the gift that lies inside of you. If you have the gift of encouragement, go ahead and do it. It only takes a few minutes out of your schedule, but it could potentially alter someone else's course for the rest of the day, week or month.
Listen, you may not say things that will reach the masses, but you can affect the circle of influence where God has placed you.
I encourage you to be an encourager! Truth be told, it will bless you too.
Now walk it out...
Thank you for such encouragement. This blog was meant for me. I often think of things I want to say to people who are going through something or just a simple hello. For some reason (probably procrastination), I do not follow through. So I would like to share this thought. When times and thing seem to be to difficult, I remember my favorite scripture Psalms 118:24. This the day which the lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. It reminds me that no matter what, I have been allowed another day and I should be glad. The problems that seems to be continuously I think of I Peter 5:7 Casting all your care on him;for he careth for you.
