The encourager?

This is a funny perspective. I don't know how much truth is there in it, but was just thinking about it in the shower, and was pondering on it, and asking God about it.

But it's also concerning having a girl.

One of the biggest flaws about Nicole, was that she could not be an encourager of my life.

It's a strange notion. I used to think I liked girls who are inquisitive, intelligent and good conversationalist. Although that is absolutely true about Nicole, she even thinks logically, but the greatest flaw about thinking logically is the inability to act which is commonly found in girls. Hehehe.

But aside from that, One great thing I've found out is,

I am a great encourager. It is a gift from God for me to lift people up, and be a great source of encouragement. A lot of people has pointed that out in me. I do believe I have the gift, as described in Romans 12:8 - "If it is encouraging, let him encourage".

But the thing I realised about myself as well, is, that I am able to encourage others, but I too need a lot of encouragement. Finding a girl who is able to lift you up when you are down, to build you up with words of wisdom and words from God is a great gift.

She can make you rise up amongst the ashes of disappointments, be the moonlight that shines a path amidst the pitch black darkness of hopelessness and she'll never ever allows you to wallow in self-pity but stirs you up in you a fiery vengeance to seek God for restoration and gets for you your sling for you to slay the giant who dare taunts the army of the one and only living God.

So far I thank God that I have a lot of great women of encouragement in my life. Namely, my mother and my sister. I wouldn't mind having my own personal encouragement.

Although, one thing I need to keep in mind, is that the greatest Encourager is the Holy Spirit, He is the great comforter that truly is the refreshment to my soul.

That being said, putting all your emotions and sorrow into one, can seriously weigh him or her down, and even the greatest of encourager's can feel down and emotionally driven, hence casting your cares unto Jesus for He cares for you, can never weigh him down.

But nevertheless, getting a woman that encourages you.. is powerful.
