Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. (Psalms 34:8)
It is much easier to encourage someone else when we truly see the goodness of God each day. Everyone needs some encouragement. It may be a smile, a good morning or opening a door for someone that brightens their day.
There are way too many things happening in the world that can bring us down into discouragement. We must not allow the negative words or actions of another to affect us.
Be Encouraged! Everyone can learn how to be an encourager. It takes practice.
