Here’s a fact – everyone does better with encouragement.
A child at school. A wife. A sportsman. A musician. An employee. We could go on. Whatever your walk in life, when you get encouraged, you will be better.
We will all succeed, if down the line, we all get the encouragement that we need.
We can get tired, feel like giving up, get confused, say “is it worth it?”, “nothing is going right. We can feel that all is against us.
We can give out a lot in life and not always get a lot back.
Some people sit around waiting to be encouraged. That’s not right.
Some people give up if they don’t get encouraged, that’s not right.
To encourage means to inspire with courage, to give hope to, to give help to.
Encouraging is powerful.
Whoever you meet today, encourage them. They will be better for it.
“You cooked a lovely meal” – means it will be even better next time.
“You preached great today” – means they’ll preach even better next time.
“You did a great job today” – means they’ll do an even better one tomorrow.
When you encourage, you’re making someone’s life better. You may even save them from giving up. You may be the answer to their prayers.
NEVER HOLD BACK on encouragement. You could be a life saver.
And guess what? Whatever you sow, you will reap.
So just you wait.. it will come back to you.
