Encouragement and Uncertainty

Have you ever wondered about the future?  Ever just had moments of anxiety wondering how everything will end up?  I have.  When I have those moments, I try to find someone to encourage.  I can't stand staying in a state of anxiety.  I think everyone has had days of uncertainty.  Just look at our world and the way it is rapidly moving toward more unrest.

Encouraging words help settle the soul.  Everyone faces days of uncertainty.  The word "uncertainty"  means that we don't know, or can't control outcomes as we would like.  We are all in the thing called "life" together.  There will be ups and downs and days when we just scratch our heads and keep moving forward. When I say "encouraging words help settle the soul" I don't mean that everything will turn out the way we like things to, but encouraging words can settle our hearts as we move through uncertain days.

Words of encouragement can bring stability to an organization that wonders about what the future might bring.  Even in times of great uncertainty and unrest there needs to be a voice that helps us navigate to calmer waters.  Sure, things might look bleak, but the assurance that we can grow and learn through those tough times is encouragement in itself.  I work with people who have lost relationships, homes, financial security, and even health.  I try to speak encouraging words that bring life to a soul.  People just need to know that they can grow and learn.

People find peace in the midst of uncertain times through words of encouragement.  There is power in words.  Words can build up and settle the soul or tear down and bring unrest and war.  You can choose.  If you are in the midst of uncertain days, find someone to encourage.  It will calm the storm in your heart and help you to grow and learn.  I know it sounds crazy.  But when you focus on positive and encouraging words your soul will find rest.  When you use your gifts to encourage another person in uncertain times it can actually bring peace to your soul and help you to focus on what you need for peace in uncertain times.

So be encouraged.  Grow., learn, and look to the future with confidence in uncertain times.  Look for someone to encourage.  When you encourage someone else you will change your world one person at a time.

Be Encouraged,
Rick
