Words of Encouragement Breed Life
ByDo you often find that you put yourself first in things that you do in life? When you wake up in the morning, are you looking for ways to bless and be of help to others? or do you get caught up in making things happen for yourself?
When we were younger, our parents taught us the importance of sharing and putting others before ourselves. It’s a very humbling act to put others before yourself and in doing so, you will find that it leaves you with a sense of fulfillment.
When we do acts that boosts others up by putting them first, we’re displaying one of many examples of what true giving is all about.
I always say that there are more ways to give than just giving money. You can give through time, love, extending a helping hand, and speaking kind words over someone.
It’s important to know that words have a huge impact on how we’re able to give to others.
I’m reminded of the saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt,” well I believe the contrary. Words do hurt. You have the ability to speak life or death into someone. As you go along your day, look for opportunities to speak words of life into someone.
They say that an elevator ride with a stranger can be one of the most awkward situations we can face. But it doesn’t have to be. When you find yourself in this so called “awkward” moment, use it as an opportunity to share a kind word with a stranger.
Show love to them by saying something that they will remember throughout the rest of the day, or possibly even the rest of the week.
I always say, we may not be able to change the whole world all at once, but we can change the world one person at a time. Make a choice to extend yourself in order to build up someone today and notice the sense of fulfillment you feel as you charge forth on your journey of life.

Hi Jarrod,
How are you?
This is a timely post as I’ve made a concerted effort to balance my time by ‘getting out there’ and connecting with others. There’s nothing like helping someone, facilitating positive change, and exchanging ideas in person. I was a bit immersed online for a while
Thanks for the reminder and for sharing the love.
