i’ve always wanted to be a source of encouragement, a source of hope to other people. one of my desires is to inspire other people. it may not be grand or elegant things that i could do, but in simple things like an encouraging word, a shoulder to lean on, a hug or even a smile.
but as i reflect on myself right now, i feel that i’ve been “spreading” negative comments. i even caught myself more than a few times gossiping and slandering about other people. i know that some of my remarks or comments may have discouraged other people. and probably there was a time that i’ve refused an ear when someone needed someone to talk to, or a hand when someone needed my help.
Lord, thank you for letting me realize these things, that I may do something about these. and thank you for giving me people who have encouraged and guided me, comforted me especially those times when i needed someone. help me to be the same for other people, especially to those who have no one to turn to. Amen.
