As I was deciding on what to write this morning, I saw the quote below posted by Joel Osteen on his Facebook page.
“God has already prepared the opportunities you need. Don't accept defeat, depression or lack. Supernatural promotion and increase will seek you out. Just keep honoring God and blessing others.”
This is just what I needed to give me encouragement today. The girls and I helped a ministry distributed fresh produce and juice to about 100 families this weekend. Never did I imagine that taking a few hours out of my weekend to help bless someone else would bring so much joy. Not only did it bring us joy, the girls want to do the same thing in our own neighborhood. They made sure that they packed a bag of produce and juice for a friend of theirs. This surprised me very much and made me smile.
Just because one person has the opinion that you cannot do a specific job, don’t let that get you down or keep you down. Yes, we get knocked down every now and then, but how you handle it determines what happens next. If you wallow in depression, the door that God has opened for you will become a missed opportunity because you stayed at home. Be sure to surround yourself with positive and encouraging people to keep uplifted. Encourage yourself if you have to. Just keep focused on God and your goal and watch what happens!
Stay encouraged and positive!
