Encouragment...

I have come to realize that i am not a good encourager. I am not graceful with words and I don't know how to give good advise. But I've realized it and accepted it. God doesn't give us all the same spiritual gifts. Although, sometimes it makes me kinda sad and even angry because i see and hear all these people being very encouraging and i know i can't do that. The worst part is when someone tells me something and i know they need to hear something supportive and encouraging, but i just sit there not knowing what to say. I have my own spiritual gift that i can use but how do you tell someone you cant help them? "oh i know your having a hard time right now but don't talk to me about it because i don't know what to say." i don't know i guess its not that big of a deal, but it still bugs me. Peace.

Venda, a lack of words is sometimes necessary. Your presence alone brings about sincerity and the desire to listen. That's incredibly supportive!
