Take Off Your Glasses

Encouraging the heart is about seeing the heart.  It is about seeing your own heart. It is about seeing someone else's heart.  Encouraging the heart is about allowing yourself to see people through a different set of eyes.  Encouraging the heart is about seeing through another pair of glasses than what you are used to.  It is about going beyond yourself.

So...take off your glasses.  Get ready to see through another pair of glasses.  Look through a pair of glasses that allows you to have heart.  Look through a pair of glasses that is selfless instead of selfish.  Try seeing through a pair of glasses that promotes kindness and compassion.  Try seeing through a pair of glasses that sees the potential of a person and be willing to take time to develop that potential.

We are so used to seeing through the same set of glasses that our hearts remain hard to new things that come our way.  Have you ever met a person who refuses change and never wants anything new?  What a shame.  We have excluded many people and the potential for personal and corporate growth because we refuse to see through a new pair of glasses.

Here is a challenge...put on a new pair of glasses.  Allow newness of life to overtake you.  Try reaching out to someone else because it is the right thing to do.  Try walking with the downcast because you have encouragement to give them.  Try letting go of some moldy money (if you have some) and take a less fortunate person out for dinner.  Go ahead and take the risk and encourage a heart that needs your touch.

It's time for you to see through a new set of glasses.  It's time for you to become the influencer...the encourager.  It's time for you to bring life to someone else.  I dare you to see through another set of glasses.  Try the glasses of encouragement.  Find someone today and encourage them.  When you do you will change your world one person at a time.

Be Encouraged,
Rick
