Learn to be an Encourager

I was at a conference this last week and was encouraged by many of the speakers, one of the sessions really stood out to me that I would like to share with others.  We are called to be encouragers but if we were honest some of us feel like we just want to give up at times. In times when you feel discouraged we need to look at Elijah who was one of those guys in the Bible we think would never be discouraged but one of his prayers was... Lord, I just want to die! Have you ever felt that way? Where you just wanted to give up and say; I have had enough! Look up 1 Kings 19:4-6 The Lord came to where Elijah was and encouraged him, He told him to listen to His whispers. You may be feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, frustrated or feeling like you just want give up. I want to encourage you to listen for the whispers of the Lord, allow the Lord to whisper into your heart during this time.

Galatians 6:9 whispers to us to not lose heart! Take some time today and learn to be still and listen for the whispers from the Lord.

In all of this learn to allow God to use you to encourage others as the Lord whispers through you to others through an email, a facebook message, a phone call or simply walking up to someone and encouraging them. Learn to be encouraged and learn to be an encourager!
