Encouragement is such a great thing to receive, especially as children. We live in a generation where damage to self-esteem has dug deep wells in most people. Sadly many cannot get out of these wells because they don’t have family or friends offering ropes of deliverance.
What could you be if encouraged enough to come out of your well of depression, sadness, loneliness or boredom? What might someone else become if you took the time to help them climb from the depths of a deep well? A well where they have been so long as to forget talents and dreams; a well where they forget what it’s like to be loved and enjoyed?
What could be built into one another if we took the time to offer ropes of encouragement? I often see native artwork of tiny rope strands intertwined into hoops. They are called “dream catchers”. Spiritually they represent a counterfeit to truth. It’s our love for each other that make the strands. Our intertwined love captures the real dream of us all by encouraging each of us to be who we were born to be.
