Reading books so often encourages me. Authors’ thousands of words, forming devotionals or even stories, inspire me to encourage others in my writing.
Sometimes I get caught into the trap of thinking that the best way to encourage people is to write more stories or devotionals. But God is able to just as easily use a text, short email, or blog comment to be an encouragement as a novel.
If you have an opportunity today, encourage someone in the Lord!

so true. Sometimes, it's a novel that God tucks a jewel in and you're like WOW NEEDED THAT; but other times, it's an email saying \”hey! praying for you, how you holdin' up!\” ❤
