Everyone needs encouragement. People with smiles on their faces and people who will not look you in the face. Successful people and people who no longer remember what success feels like. Your parents, your children, your brothers and sisters need encouragement. YOU NEED ENCOURAGEMENT!. Let's make it a priority that at least 3 times a day (or more), we pick someone and ask the Lord "how can I encourage them right now?". It might be something as simple as a smile or a thank you for opening a door (it amazes me how few women say thank you when I hold the door open for them - not talking about Lydia, I'm talking about strangers who I hold the door for and then not a word from them).
Hebrews 10:24-25 says "Let us consider how to lift each other up and encourage good works among you, and do that more and more often as the day of Christ's return gets closer."
This will not be as easy as you think, in fact, it will require you to ask God if there is anything to encourage some people about BUT those are exactly the ones who need it most. Don't let another day go by that you don't encourage those around you. God bless you in your journey!!!
