Gift of encouragement

12 replies
In the times we are in, every one needs to be encouraged, even the tough ones; but few of us are willing to exercise the gift of encouragement we all have.

Please encourage some one now, assure them of a hopeful tomorrow, let them

know that it is well with them no matter the circumstances, call an old friend

and let them know that you still love them. Encourage the worriers.

You will realize that as you do it, a good percentage of the encouragement bounces back to you, after it has accomplished its purposes.

Make someone happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

    Here's an encouragement quote: "It is only through your conscious mind that you can reach the subconscious. Your conscious mind is the porter at the door, the watchman at the gate. It is to the conscious mind that the subconscious looks for all its impressions."

    Encouragement is achieved through praise; praise must be specific rather than vague.

    For example:

    Vague praise: "Your writing is great."

    More fffective specific praise: "Your writing is vibrant, sincere and demonstrates your unique personality."

    I try to encourage everyone i come in contact with.

    Life is hard enough without having people doubt your goals, dreams, and ambitions.

    It's definitely important that all of the entrepreneurs support each other.

    Everyone knows that all children need encouragement to grow and thrive. Why do we stop when we are adults? It seems like it makes sense that all PEOPLE need encouragement to grow and thrive - pass some on today.

    Positive thinking always encourage person to step up in your life. And people who feel good about themselves produce good result.



    A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use. That's how it is with us. There are many of us, but we each are part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another. . . . If we can encourage others, we should encourage them. – Romans

    Our life motto should be to "Encourage one another daily."

    The word encourage is made up of two words: "en" meaning "in" and "courage."
    It is a gift that is very much needed.

    Everybody wants to be appreciated and encouraged. So let each of us be sure we take our gift of encouragement. And especially use it much at home.

    That principle always works. Give, and it shall come back to you. In encouraging another person, you actually get encouraged/motivated by the words you speak/write. Let's do more of it and get encouraged everyday.

    Word, encouragement comes more often as a result of giving it rather than trying to receive it.
