Affirming Words
We all face challenges at various times in life. But what affects how people handle those moments? Why do some sink into isolated sadness while others persevere through? Believe it or not, sometimes it is as simple as a few affirming words. Dwight Bain describes how we can easily use our words and presence to encourage others.
| Listen to Dwight |
As a community following Christ, Jesus asks us to encourage and comfort one another - just as He comforts us. Affirming someone in pain can leave a positive impression that is more lasting than you might imagine. God has given you a powerful presence and voice. What will you choose to do with yours? A little intentionality can go a long way when it comes to caring for those in your community.
About this Plan
In the New York Times best-selling book When , author Daniel Pink says, “When we reach a mid-point, sometimes we slump but other times we jump. A mental siren reminds us that we have squandered half our time.” Our prayer is that you have “invested” the first half of your year well. But whether you would like some encouragement to power through the second half or need a bit of motivation to beat a slump, we offer this seven-day challenge. Each day contains a short audio message (1-2 minutes).
