Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hello everyone I got this in my email this morning and I wanted to share it with you all
Today's Scripture:
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up
Proverbs 12:25, NLT.
Today's Word:
When you see someone who is struggling, a co-worker who is discouraged, a friend who is not up to par, how do you respond? Our words can be what keeps a person going; our compliments can put a spring back into their step. Now more than ever, we need to automatically let the encouragement flow. We need to tell others how much we love them, how we value them, and tell them that they are talented and creative. Always remember, with your words you carry life-giving water. You carry hope, healing, encouragement and new beginnings, and you can pour it out everywhere you go.
Today, choose to speak encouragement. Choose to speak victory and faith. Instead of telling people what theyre doing wrong, instead of pointing out all their faults, find what they are doing right. Focus on the good. There are already enough critical, judgmental people in the world. Lets be people who lift up others and restore them. Lets be the light of Jesus in the world.
Prayer for Today:
Father God, thank You for speaking through me. Thank You for using me to be a blessing to others. Thank You for encouraging my heart as I find ways to encourage the people around me. I love You and bless Your holy Name. In Jesus Name. Amen.

And I was thanked "for being me", for giving them "confidence" or "compassion", and all I did was listen. That's ALL I did! I never said I agreed with everything. But, I understood why they were that way and didn't fault them for that reason.
I don't feel necessarily proud about it. But, I feel enlightened and honored that those Warriors trusted me enough to let me in. Not sure how to act, but I'll roll with it. :)
This was very encouraging, and thank you for LISTENING to me. :)
