A few weeks ago I was on facebook and had come across my younger cousin's page. She had a posting of a video that she had recorded of herself singing. I must say I didn't know that she could sing as well as she did until that day. The song was called "Encourage Yourself" by Donald Lawrence. I've heard the song many times before at church and from others but watching her sing it was different. I watched it a few times, listening to the words, and realized how young she was.. singing these words of encouragement.
I thought to myself, sometimes you just have to receive information from a different form to actually understand it. I needed a word to uplift me that week and it just wasn't coming to me. This is when the video came to me and I said "that's RIGHT..Encourage Yourself". I think we often look for encouragement from others and it really has to start with us first. People can tell you to do this, try that, read this, but if we don't start with our self..we end up nowhere (does this make sense?). I'm not saying that we shouldn't ask others to help us, pray for us, or encourage us etc...I just think we need to start believing in ourselves more. We can be our own worst critic or enemy.
I challenge you today to start encouraging yourself. I will also do the same. We must speak VICTORY over whatever situations that we go through. The TONGUE is a powerful tool. Use it wisely. I'm not preaching to you I promise. I just want to spread more positive energy because in this day and age its becoming more corrupt by the minute and people are corrupting themselves. So I want to say THANK YOU to my younger cousin for singing that song. It helped me more than you'll ever know..
If you don't have "Encourage Yourself" by Donald Lawrence on your ipod playlist...DOWNLOAD it NOW..LOL
