My personal Definition of Encourage:  “To Inspire With Heavenly Hope” cbc

In my personal life ministry, which I call “Everyday Encouragement,” I strive to reach out to others whom God places in my path on a daily basis with some form of encouragement meant personally for them.  I listen carefully to God’s prompting and try to touch the lives of those he places upon my heart.  In doing so, I hope to make a positive difference in their day.  I encourage you to think about doing the same in your life.  You never know what others are going through, and your smile, comment or good deed may be just the thing they needed  in order to turn their situation around. 

Here are a few other words that can mean the same thing as encourage.  Maybe this list will help you think about ways in which you can “inspire others with heavenly hope.”

• Buoy

• Enhearten

Think about what a difference it would make in your world if everyone went about their day with this “everyday encouragement” idea in mind.  Be the change you want to see in your world!!
