“For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the LORD,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope,
and a future.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~
“Encourage is oxygen for the soul.”

“When you feel like giving up,
remember why you held on so long in the first place.”

“How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.” ~ Steve Maraboli ~
“You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.”

“Instruction does much but encouragement everything.”

“But God is the God of the waves and the billows, and they are still His when they come over us; and again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm. Once more by His interposition deliverance came. We were cast down, but not destroyed.” ~ Amy Carmichael ~
“You can get a thousand no’s from people
and only one yes from God.”
~ Tyler Perry ~
“He is your Father, and His role is to protect you; He will comfort you and guide you. He will feed you; He will carry you when you are weak. He will seek you out when you go astray; He will help you in times of trouble. He will not let your enemies go unpunished; He will cherish you like a father cherishes his daughter. When you fall, He will pick you up; when you don’t understand, He will always understand.
When you feel like life is weighing you down, He will life you up. When you feel like giving up, He will encourage you to keep going. When you are sad, He will lighten your spirits. When you need advice, His line is open 24-7. When you feel unsafe, He will be your safety, when you are worried, He will be an ear to your concerns. When you feel burdened, offer your burden to Him and He will take it. Where you have been burnt, He will make you beautiful; where you hurt, He will heal. Whenever you feel lonely, He will always be with you.
Where others have not supported you, He will support you. When you feel discouraged, He will be your encouragement. Where you don’t know, He will tell you when the time is right. When you feel unloved, remember that He has always loved you.
You see limitations; God sees opportunities. You see faults; God sees growth. You see problems, God sees solutions. You see limitations; God sees possibilities. You see life; God sees eternity.”

he was filled with excitement and joy,
and encouraged the believers to stay close to the Lord,
whatever the cost.”

So many encouraging words on this post. The Jeremiah 29:11 verse is one of my favorites. Hope you have a blessed week!
Ok, the anonymous quote was mine this morning…thank you! Will definitely be sharing it…
One of the things I work at – being an encourager – don't always succeed at speaking only the good (why are we taught to criticize thinking we are being discerning?)
Wonderful, Thistle, really wonderful! Thank you so much!
Sweet Summer Blessings to you!
Enjoyed reading these encouraging words.
Smile on,
