Let People Know They're Infinitely Valuable
I have discovered that most people we meet or come in contact with in
our everyday lives don't have a sense of their infinite value as
children of God. I think the devil works very hard to make people feel
devalued and worthless, but we can neutralize the effect of his lies and
insinuations by building up, encouraging and edifying people.
One way to do this is with a sincere compliment, which is one of the
most valuable gifts in this world. Offering a sincere compliment may
seem like a small thing, but it gives tremendous strength to people who
feel insecure or like they don't matter much.
I believe in having goals, and as I was working with God to develop good
habits in the area of encouraging others, I challenged myself to
compliment at least three people each day. I recommend that you do
something similar to help you become an aggressive encourager.
The Bible says that God adopts as His children those who feel abandoned.
Let's find those people and strive to build them up, making them feel
valuable. Let's let them know that God loves them.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, show me the people who don't know that God
loves them as His own children. Bring me across their path so that I can
encourage them and make them feel valuable.
