Giving Out of Your Need
I feel that one way to overcome disappointment and discouragement is to help someone in a way that you enjoy.
When we give encouragement and hope to people in a way that is enjoyable, we always receive more than we give.
Why not take action and do something opposite of the way you feel?
If you are emotionally down, lift someone up who needs to be encouraged. If you are struggling physically or relationally, give some words of encouragement to someone who is hurting in the same way!
I am a candidate in our local police department Volunteer Academy. Our first class was last night. I was very encouraged! I want to help solve problems in our community. I am meeting some wonderful people who want to help solve problems!
Why not try something that you enjoy to encourage someone? You may be surprised at the result! I am!
