The "gift" of encouragement is so rare. We emphasize gift because we believe it really is that, a gift. Do you need it to keep at it? Who doesn’t? So keep it simple. Tell God about it! Unlike people who aren't always available, God is! When you are weak go to Him in prayer. He is stable and available and the one who encourages and empowers you to keep going when you don't think you can. Colossians 4:2-3

Scripture says, "THIS is the day the Lord hath made and He wants YOU to rejoice and be glad in it." Taken from Psalm 118:24

Ever been around someone who can dish out criticism but can't take it? You'll prolly be surprised today to find that the reason for both is the same. Proverbs 15:1

You're in the lane "God" put you in, right? But do your prayers seem to be falling on deaf ears? Are blessings not flowing? You are a trophy of God's goodness and grace but maybe just maybe it's time to consider your ways. Inspired by Palms 30:11-12
