I am sure you have come across that one person, that one person that when you are around them, you leave their presence with a smile, a bounce in your step, because of the encouragement that you have just received because of them. There is something about them, they have that unique ability to encourage you with out know it, that is just who they are!
We love it when we have an interaction, don't we?!?!?! Yes we do!!! it makes our day.
On the other hand not every person that we come across is not that encouraging person, we, as a society have a unique knack for being grumpy, grouchy, at times mean-spirited and just not that pleasant to be around. I admit it, I am this way at times. Why I am not sure, but I can be honest enough to know that I have made my home in the land of unpleasantness on occasion.
The truth of the matter is that we love to be encouraged, we absolutely love it, but we often forget to be that encouraging person. It is a viscous cycle that we live in. But don't we have have a peace that passes understanding? Don't we have a joy that is insatiable? Aren't we loved even though we are deserving of death? Don't we have a savior that took our punishment? If the answer is, Yes, and it is then let's not be that grumpy old "Christian" that has no fun and does not enjoy anything - to people that Love Jesus, Love others and shows it in their encouragement and interactions with people.
Life Sign - Those who come in contact with me leave encouraged.
