It has occurred to me today that I have some really special people in my life. Sometimes I get down on myself and forget that no matter what there are still people who love me, are willing to encourage, and would never purposely hurt me. I've been struggling lately trying to figure out what it is I truly want to do with my life and it has been amazing to see how different people's responses are when I tell them. One friend's reaction was along the lines of "well that sucks for you now doesn't it?" while another friend immediately tried to brainstorm with me. A third friend proceeded to tell me about how I encouraged him and suggested that whatever I do, it should be something where I'm helping to build people up. I guess what I'm trying to say is that even when you feel you're the worst, there is always someone who thinks you're the best. I have a friend of facebook who every afternoon changes her status to a positive message. She calls them Midday Reflections. Today's post read:
Hopelessness is a miserable trap that blinds a believer from seeing the Lord. The only way out is to deliberately focus on Christ through praise, prayer, and Scripture. This is probably the last thing a discouraged person wants to do, but hope awaits those who are willing to see life from God's perspective.
I really needed that today....
