Encouragement Cards FTW

Encouragement cards were always something that i found it hard to do as I would prefer to affirm the person face-to-face (more feel and personalization i find). But as time went on, it has eventually won me over that encouragement cards are really powerful tools. Face-to-face affirmations do impact people for that period of time but encouragement cards will stay with you just like an asset for life. Encouragement cards not just mere cards but cards which reflect your spiritual life, your growth and progress in your relationship with God and also assure you that there are others running together with you in this long race.

As i was looking through my box of accumulated encouragement cards over the years, it really brings back not only memories and tears but joy in my heart that I have really grown these past few years. There was a set of 5 cards that I received from a person in which up to this day, the impact that these set of cards has made still remains firmly in my heart. Its from the same person giving it to me at different stages of spiritual life: new believer, shepherd, CL (when I was in TP). In particular, i remembered a sentence which this person wrote: "You weren't put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity!" Beautiful. That's the power of encouragement cards. And i'm so going to bring that element back to my ministry. Let's really seek to encourage and build one another up! I'm learning and improving in this area too! Love Love Love!

Eph 4:29

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
