Who are you pushing around?

No, it’s not what you think. Sure, we can push people around. We can push people aside. We can even push people down. But, what I am asking is, “who is it that you are pushing up?”  Are you believing in someone? Are you encouraging someone?

“Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you.” - William Arthur Ward

I have been blessed in that I have had so many instances in my life where someone else has encouraged me and pushed me up. An encouraging word works wonders. Good thoughts are great, but they don’t go anywhere. Give someone the simple gift of good words of encouragement and there is no limit to where they can go.

So encourage someone today. Be a push-upper.
