A HELPING HAND
There are so many hurting, lonely, rejected, and sad people all around us, aren't there? And all they need is a kind and encouraging word. I think of 1 Samuel 23:16 where Jonathan "went to David in the wood and STRENGTHENED HIS HAND IN GOD." We all need strengthening and encouraging. This is how we keep going as pilgrims on this earth.
Can you ask God to bring to your mind someone you can encourage today? Give them a call. Or write them a lovely card. You can text them, but there is something about a nice card with hand-written encouragement.
But, perhaps you feel need of lifting up yourself. Let me tell you a secret. The greatest way to forget your own problems is to seek to lift up someone else. As you reach out to bless someone else your own problems lighten.
