Believe

"There are a million things one might do with a block of wood. But what do you think might happen if someone, just once, believed in it?"
~Suzanne Weyn, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

If you haven't seen this movie or read the book, this block of wood was given to Manoney by Mr. Magorium and it spends most of the story sitting on a table. But at the end Henry is asking Mahoney if she really believes it is more than a piece of wood and in despair over Mr. Magorium's passing, she begins to enthusiastically defend that this block of wood is much more than a block of wood and in that moment it comes to life.

Do you believe in others like that? What if we all became encouragers? I believe that is something we are all capable of. It doesn't take any special gifting to offer someone a nice word about their appearance or behavior. How many people do you admire but have never mentioned it to them? Or maybe you have but why not do it again?

Have you ever felt like that block? Powerless to move because of other people's opinions of what you are or aren't capable of? Can you remember a time when a small word of encouragement brought you to life? What if you could be that for someone else today?

I believe in you! You are a beautiful wonderful person created in the image of a perfect and loving God with unique features and talents to be used on your unique path in this life. And if you don't have anyone in your life who regularly pours encouragement into your life 1.) You have a Savior waiting with open arms who thinks you are to die for. And 2.) Find new people!! Message me. We will do lunch!!

"The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
