ENCOURAGERS

I had a long online chat with an old friend today, it's amazing how we ended up encouraging one another so much. Nothing was a coincidence I don't think. God knew we needed that. :)

Here's a little devotional on encouragement I read today:

ENCOURAGEMENT

When strength fails and we grow weary and discouraged, we need someone to come alongside us, show understanding, cheer us up, and inspire us to have the strength and commitment to move on. When bills pile up and money runs short, we need an encourager. When we become a single parent and the world seems against us, we need an encourager. When friends or family turn against us, we need an encourager. Our strength and resolve weaken. Oh, for someone to come beside us and lift us up and comfort us. Encouragers help us stir renewed commitment, renewed resolve. They inspire us with courage and hope. Encouragers bring a beautiful gift, often a spiritual gift, when they bring renewal through encouragement.

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. (Phil 1:3)
