I was thinking about the word encouragement today. It is the opposite of discouragement. It is easy to become discouraged from time to time.
Many things can be the cause...health, finances, family situations, relationships, etc.
Whatever the reason; we can be given a new perspective by a spoken word of encouragement.
In fact when I speak something encouraging to someone else it works as a cure for my own discouraging moments.
It changes the thought process of thinking only about myself and makes me look for the good in another's life.
I start to see the positive and not the negative, the good not the bad, the light and not the dark side.
So if anyone is feeling discouraged today perhaps you can find someone around you who could use an encouraging word. I can guarantee that you will feel encouraged as well.
God Bless!
