Encouragement?

 What do you consider your self to be good at? Are you a peacemaker, a good friend, or organized? I feel like God has made me an encourager. I seek ways to build others up. I like for others to hear the good things I see in them.

Have you heard the saying, “You can’t pour from an empty cup”? Sometimes I struggle with speaking life over others because I am not doing enough self care. Other times, it is caused by other people doing or saying things that bring me down. Recently, I was in a situation where I was being paid a compliment, but the words chosen had the opposite effect. It took me about two weeks to work through how I felt about it.

Encouragers also need encouragement. If you know your encouraging friend is struggling with things, send them a text, make a phone call, or send a card. It makes a huge difference. 

Be careful with your words. The way you say things is important! I want you to know that you are amazing and I’m glad you are here!

Be blessed!
