If our tongue has the power of Life or Death(Proverbs 18:21) then what are you speaking? It seems that being an encourager is almost a gift or lost art these days. Why is it that we are more apt to tell someone what we didn't like about something rather than what we did like? A big part is because we are consumers and we want it the way we want it and leave no room for error(especially someone else's). What if next time you went to speak it was an encouraging or positive word? What if you told someone how great they did at something instead of pointing out the flaws?
Christians and the Church have mastered pointing out what we don't like. We are more known for what we are against than what we are for. I think its time for a change! What if we were known for being such amazing encouragers, speaking positive things and lifting each other up? Not looking for fault but seeing the positive? For being people of love rather than hate? Lets be the change this world needs and that people need to see. Bite your tongue if you have to. I ask you to try it. Not biting your tongue but speaking positive, speaking life! You know how you feel when someone tells you how great you did? Now go and make someone else feel that way too!

Lets think....before we speak, and lets bring back the ART of ENCOURAGEMENT!!
