This world is filled with heartache and pain so heavy that sometimes life can seem overwhelming, so when you’re given the opportunity to make someone’s day a little brighter—do it! It may be as simple as a small compliment, pat on the back, or just a warm smile. Smiling is a ministry all by itself! When you love Jesus, you just can’t help but smile—yes, even through the dark days you can experience God’s gift of joy! Start with your family in your own home and keep spreading God’s joy throughout your day to all those you meet. And don’t just select the people you think need a lift. Many who outwardly seem to have it all together can inwardly be suffering with the same insecurities that most people face. The seemingly most confident person still needs affirmation and encouragement. They may be bravely and boldly going through their day not letting anyone know they are hurting, so they are often overlooked when it comes to appreciation and reassurance. Bottom line—don’t overlook anyone! Give honest affirmation when an opportunity exists because everyone needs to feel loved—it’s as necessary as breathing! Texts: Ephesians 4:29, Philippians 2:3, John 13:34, 1 Corinthians 16:14
