A Word of Encouragement

Reading books so often encourages me. Authors' thousands of words, forming devotionals or even stories, inspire me to encourage others in my writing.

Sometimes I get caught into the trap of thinking that the best way to encourage people is to write more stories or devotionals. But God is able to just as easily use a text, short email, or blog comment to be an encouragement as a novel. 

If you have an opportunity today, encourage someone in the Lord!

  1. so true. Sometimes, it's a novel that God tucks a jewel in and you're like WOW NEEDED THAT; but other times, it's an email saying "hey! praying for you, how you holdin' up!" <3

Thank you for stopping by! I pray that you have found something that encourages you today. Thank you for taking the time to give me a little comment - they always brighten my day. :) I usually stop by and reply to as many comments as I can, but sometimes it takes me a week or so. But if you asked a question, be sure to check back!

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
