Encouragement for a discouraged heart

Are you there feeling discouraged? Feeling like it is the end of the world for you? Well, I checked in today to remind you that life is beautiful…filled with amazing things 🙂 There is much more to life than the situation that is discouraging you. You may not be where you want to be, or have all you would ever hope for, but you are alive. God has given you another chance in life to live and see Him accomplish His purpose in your life. Isn’t that reason enough to be grateful? Insert smile here if you think it is.

So whether it’s going all good or whether everything is on a stand still and you don’t feel like it could get any better, stand up on your feet and enjoy the beauty of every moment. Smile like never before, live like the world depends on that small gesture of love that you can show and above all, reach out and make a difference in your world in your own little way. It counts!

Every time you feel like your ship is sinking, like all there is in your world is darkness, take time to think about all the good things that life has offered you. Think about all those bright days that you ever had and those ahead of you that you haven’t experienced yet. Then look at whatever is causing you discouragement and laugh at it 🙂 Oh yes, remind it that you are of thick skin. That you are way above it.

Just think about the eagle…what does it do in the middle of a storm? It jumps into the storm, catches the wind  and soars higher…way higher above the storm to heights that no other bird can get to. Now, be the eagle. Rise up and soar higher and higher above your storm.

Its a beautiful life with many beautiful reasons to be happy and enjoy life 🙂 🙂

JESUS ARE YOU THERE?

When the night feels so dark,

And the roads very treacherous,

When heavy clouds fill the day,

And the word hope seems

so far away,

Jesus are you there?

 

When everything is falling apart,

And our joy is taken away,

When all the strength is gone away,

And our cares and burdens

overwhelm us,

Jesus are you there?

 

When our buds are nipped

before they blossom,

And we do not see the fruits

of our labour,

When our dreams are repressed,

Jesus are you there?

 

Remind us that you are there,

That you see through it all,

And it all works for our good,

Even when we don’t feel it,

Remind us you are there.
