Be a Blessing to Others

A generous man will prosper;

he who refreshes others

will himself be refreshed.

Proverbs 11:25

Every day brings opportunities to be

DISAPPOINTED

DEFEATED

DOWN

&

DEPRESSED.

Somebody is NOT going to treat you fairly today.

Odds are, someone will be rude to you.

Your boss (who you know is not as smart as you are)

will make another decision that will grate on your nerves.

Bad news may come your way, either over the news,

in a doctor's report, or on your financial statement.

When these kinds of things happen,

it's easy to sit down, sulk and pitch a pity party.

I challenge you today!

Don't lose another day of your life feeling sorry for yourself

and allowing your circumstance to overwhelm you.

One of the best things you can do

is go help somebody else in need.

The Bible tells us,

"God turned the captivity of Job

when he prayed for his friends."

I find it interesting that Job didn't see

breakthrough by sitting around feeling sorry for himself.

He didn't find healing when he prayed for himself.

He didn't experience restoration when he prayed for himself.

Now, we should pray for ourselves and present our requests to God,

but if you really want to see things change,

go out and be a blessing to someone else.

Look for ways to refresh people around you

and watch how your own soul becomes refreshed in return.

As you give, it will be given back to you,

pressed down, shaken together

and running over in every area of your life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
