This is the first day that I had to force myself to do something encouraging. Even with the positive feedback I received today, regarding a previous encouragement, I did not feel like being kind to someone. I had to pray a long time to feel inspired to do something kind, and even longer to know who I should be kind to. Even still, I had to struggle through the process, while silently and secretly just wishing someone was there for ME. Today has not been my best day. I feel drained. Emotionally. And so alone. Today has not been my best day.
But I did write a note, to a young lady in my church. R____ is a bit of a loner, doesn't talk to hardly anyone, and not for their lack of trying. She is just quiet. Extremely quiet. But she has a sweet presence about her. I just wonder what is going on inside her world. If something was wrong, there is no way we would know. She just doesn't talk at all. So maybe my note will help encourage her in some way. Just maybe she won't feel as alone as she seems to want to be. I don't know the reason that she is silent. Perhaps she's been hurt. Perhaps she is just afraid of being hurt. I don't know. But at least I let her know that she is loved. I hope it helps.
