We all probably had someone in our Christian walk or just in our general life someone who has always been their for us. Someone that has encouraged , challenged, inspired you, someone that has not given up on you when your going through a hard time. I know when i was growing up having someone that was all those things helped me through life but most of all in my christian walk. This someone was a youth leader in my youth group. The way that she lived her life that reflected God and the way she never gave up on me even though i was a pain some of the time and tried to push her away she still stood by me. She showed me that God to was all those things and so much more.
Working with young people i have noticed that encouraging them
makes a real difference to them. Helping them reach their potential and not
giving up on them when sometimes they feel everything in their lives is going
wrong. Sometimes you might not see all the impact that you have on a young
person but i know from my experience that the person that encouraged me has
helped me get where i am today.
I hope that in my life I can be that 'someone' who takes the the time to listen, to encourage to challenge and inspire someone and that the way I live will reflect God who is always that someone to everyone . Can you be that 'Someone' ?
