When you see a soul weighed dwn,
Walking with a tired step,
A great big smile to show you care
Might add to them some joy or pep.
Encouragement can lift a load
For someone walking all alone.
You might lift a person up
With seeds of happiness you've sown.
You may be the only spot
Of light or sunshine in their day
By your kind example
Or the cheery words you say.
People struggle deep within
And maybe never tell a soul.
To be a bright encourager
Is a very needed role.
"Let all men know and perceive and recognize your unselfishness (your considerateness, your forbearing spirit)."
Philippians 4:5 Amplified Bible
