You Can Do it
Everyone loves to hear an encouraging comment. With all of the negative surroundings we live in, everyone needs encouragement. It can be as simple as, “I am proud of you” to “You made a big difference in your efforts”. Everyone loves to hear encouragement but there are not many people giving them out. Encouragement can help someone push forward to accomplish a lifelong dream. Encouragement can help someone out of a hard time. Encouragement can turn fear into determination. Encouragement can be the difference maker.
Today, I was a Target. I needed to pick up some baby wipes and some over the counter medicine. As I stood in line, I could not help overhearing the lady behind me talking on her cell phone. She sounded as if she was very irritated. She was describing to the person on the other end that she was now buying some gum, hard candy and some nicotine patches. She sounded scared but she was making the effort to stop smoking. As I paid for my stuff, I turned to her and said, “I am sorry, but I could not help but to overhear your conversation, and I wanted to say to you, I believe you can do it.” I pray she does it. Encouragement from a stranger never hurts and who knows it may have given her more determination.
Today, is a great day to encourage someone. You don’t even have to know them. Go ahead and do it, I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Yeah! For your courage to say what God put on your heart–a word of encouragement! Encouragement is seedplanting for God:)
