If you want to know if something is true, the wise will look for evidence or lack there of. That's how our court system works. That's how science works. That is how investigative reporters should work. Here is some 'Stranger Evidence', hard to argue results, here is your play of the day...
Word! So, who are you going to encourage this week? Next week? Next month? For the rest of your life? If you dig, we are in the Hope and encouragement business. You know this broken depressed planet needs more Hope. What are you doing about it?
Rod brought up a great point after we were off mic. Start your day with God. Boldly ask like that lady on the sidewalk. If you are already deep, then boldly ask who can you encourage today. Then get ready. Get ready for that inner voice or pull to that stranger or loved one. You will wrestle with it at times - I don't want to do that. Ill look weird. That just means you are normal and human. Like Casey said, no regrets.
If you are like Rod and me, yes, I have some regrets and lessons learned. For fear of being weird, just know you will only be guilty of caring too much. What an amazing legacy, you cared too much. Much better than being a narcissist that won't even acknowledge someone exists.
If you would like to hear more of that 'Play of the Day', you can find Chris at Hosannalc.org. That episode was called, "Trusting God - Week 1", published on 10/25/20.
Ending on a song note, definite pull to this one! In fact, I wrote it down before I even knew what this podcast would be. Hard to argue results. We all want evidence to believe, right? Well, most of us. This is "Evidence" by Josh Baldwin. If you dig, please add it to your "I need to Hope and Re-assurance or courage to approach that stranger or loved one" play list. Now go, love, serve, encourage that person that God pulls you to..
