This are the three little words that I heard from a friendly stranger during my morning run, three little words that made my run and my morning. To be honest, I've slowly been losing my motivation to run. Though I usually feel great after a run, I struggle to find the energy to start amid the busyness of life. As I made my way down the stretch of the first full street, those three little words were exactly what I needed to hear. Encouraged by a complete stranger; I'm sure he has no idea how deeply his words affected me.
And like most good things, his kind deed had a ripple effect; I found myself smiling and encouraging other bypassers on the street and other people throughout my day.
Never underestimate the power of three little words. =)
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. Hebrews 3:13-14
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25
