Entourage

Who do you want to back you up in life?
What kind of words are you going to surround yourself with?
Do you want people to constantly be putting you down or lifting you up?

Facts:
God's purpose for your life is BIG.
It is so BIG the only explanation for this occurrence will be God.
This purpose is bigger than you, and there may be times when you feel discouraged.

So, when God feels far...who is your entourage?

Who is your back up?

FORGET THE FACT YOU ARE READING SOME BLOG AND ASK YOURSELF...

Who can you rely on?
Who has God put in your life to encourage you.

Discourage and Encourage.
Discourage is to take the courage out of
Encourage is to put courage in.

After tonight I have learned that you need to not only be aware of who your entourage is, but what kind of entourage you are to others.

Even 'watching out' for someone, or asking someone what is wrong can imply things and suffocate them. I will not be a friend who when things are genuinely fine will put a person down by battering them with 'Are you ok' -- 'Is something wrong' -- 'Are you sure' --
Just NO.

I can be there for my friends when they need me, but I am called to rejoice with them. (Cant forget that last part)

I am going to be an encourager.
