We run in a fast-paced world. Our days are filled with
meetings, transporting kids, homework, housework, volunteer efforts, rehearsals,
negotiations, car repairs, and hosting out-of-town visitors. Throughout our
day, we may come in contact with hundreds or even thousands of people. But how
many do we touch? How many do we really connect with? Make eye contact with?
I’ll take it a step further. How many do we speak a word of encouragement to?
I have a friend who, in the midst of every one of our
conversations, manages to speak a word of encouragement to me. A word of
affirmation. A word of support. Without fail! Some of us express our love to
others through the “Love Language” called Words of Affirmation. It comes
naturally to us to verbally affirm those we care for. For others of us, we
communicate our love in a different way. But we all need those words from our
brothers and sisters in the faith to be inspired and strengthened to keep
moving forward in love and good deeds.
Today, will you make it your intention to speak words of
encouragement to someone? May I challenge you to actively seek out at least
three persons? And if that is like a cake walk to you, then challenge yourself
to encourage even more people.
And let me encourage you. I’m proud of you for reading this.
I’m proud that you are seeking God. It is a beautiful sacrifice that you are
making. And I know that He is so delighted with you!
