He spoke to me in a moment that I wasn’t feeling my best.
I had a lot on my mind and I was feeling weighed down but he didn’t know that.
He said
‘I’m glad you are going to be our regional minister. You are so creative and I appreciate your creativity’.
He was just being honest and the kindness of his words would have been appreciated on any day but on that day his words changed how I was feeling dramatically and made a huge difference.
You have a superpower!
Yes, you. You really do have a superpower and it’s called encouragement!
Encouragement is so simple, it costs us nothing and yet it can make such a HUGE difference.
I got home yesterday evening after a long and heavy day. Everything had gone well but I was absolutely exhausted. I needed to send a quick email before I switched off and as I started to type an email popped in that said
Thank you for your MOST helpful focus on dreams (you can read about that here) which affected much of my thinking and praying over the summer holiday.
I now have dreams for the coming term!
Every blessing as you think and pray about your dreams as you begin regional ministry.
It only takes a few seconds to say a kind word, to send an email, to write a card or even to give someone a chocolate gorilla.
Who can we encourage today?
Honest about my faith
