A habit I started a couple of years ago was to send handwritten cards of encouragement to people whom God nudged me to do so.
A couple of months ago God prompted me to send a card of congratulations to a friend who had just completed a monumental project for the benefit of his community.
I didn’t think that what I did was a big deal but within days of sending him the card, I received one back from him thanking me profusely because he said my card came at a perfect time for him.
Who is God nudging you to encourage? See the second question below…a great way to bring light to His world is by encouraging others.
Peace is not ours to keep; it’s ours to share.
Proverbs 12:25, “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. “
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
