Encourage Each Other. I‘m a natural-born encourager and because it’s easy for me to give it, it’s easy for me to teach you how receive it and pass it on to others. Seriously, can anyone get by without encouragement? I don’t believe they can. I reckon most people have to survive on the smallest amount. This need not be the case – it can be changed. So, how do you get more encouragement? Once you learn to give encouragement, eventually it will come back to you in bucket loads.
A little bit of encouragement.
thoughts or on your mind? Why not pick up the phone and say, ‘Howdy. I’ve been thinking about you. How’s it going?’ Then listen carefully and give a kind word of encouragement. I guarantee you’ll make that person’s day. A text message also works well – and for the girl of your dreams it’s worth double gold!
From the Work Manual… how good!
Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words, for they release sweetness to our souls, inner healing to our spirits. (Proverbs 16:24 TPT)
We all want and need encouragement. It can make us, or the lack of it can break us. Encouragement is sorta like a plant in the garden. Keep the water and the right sunshine up to it and it keeps looking better and better. No water, no encouragement – the plant withers up and dies. It’s a plant but it’s dead. We can be like that. We can get around, but we’re a dead man walkin’. Encouragement comes in so many different ways and it’s the most amazing thing. It’s pretty normal for us blokes to need an affirming, encouraging word from another man, no matter how old we are. If you try this, remember, blokes like you to call it as it is – straight down the line, with no patronising.
The power of encouragement Have a read of this little beauty from the Work Manual: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9 Watto Version). When we encourage somebody we actually empower courage into that person to get on with something positive in their life. When they encourage us, we are empowered with courage – so let’s make sure we start with the girl of our dreams.
Encouragement from WATTO. Encouragement comes easier to some of us than others, but it’s OK, you can learn it. Once you learn to give it, eventually it will come back to you in bucket loads No ‘fluffy duck’ patronising stuff. Start small, and keep it real. I’ve never seen a bloke or a woman go backward with encouragement!
Howdy, champion! How’s your journey? Are you cruising along, or in a battle? Are you on cruise control, or had to drop down a gear to tackle a bit of heavy going?
A great promise from the Bible is: ‘Christ gives me the strength to face anything’ (Philippians 4:13). I, Watto, champion son of the King, can do all things through Jesus the bloke who gives me the spine to do them. If you belong to the Big Fella, you can say that too, with your name in the space. How good is that?
Champions are encouraged by dream-makers I’ve never seen a bloke go backwards with encouragement. So on the way to becoming the real-deal champion, we need as much fair-dinkum encouragement as possible. Hope you are enjoying receiving encouragement.
Learn how to give encouraging turbocharged words ‘Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act’ (Proverbs 3:27).
Encourage another bloke who doesn’t think he’s good enough Over the past 4 years through Shed Happens, I’ve been privileged to encourage many men about manhood. But there have been times where I’ve needed encouragement to keep on going myself.
The difference a dream makes Have you ever been to another country where the pollution is so bad that the sky is always grey? The sky and the countryside and the buildings and even the people look grey. People who live there don’t know what it’s like to have a clear blue sky – the brightness and the light and the colours. They don’t know there’s anything else to see!
