Encouragement
To be open and honest about how you are travelling in life is a great encouragement to others who look towards you for hope and example.
In a "facebook" world, we can see often, only the positive sides of living revealed. It's a world we don't actually exist in, we exist in a world of fights, depression, failures and disappointments. It's not that positive things don't happen, of course, they do, but to show only one side is sort of falling into the "airbrush mentality" of the magazines.
How we cope with the negative things of life, reveals, who we are, and what or who we look towards for walking through these moments.
To the outsider, we can seem perfect, when in fact we have just relied upon a heavenly word or revelation, to get us past the latest tragedy that life has thrown our way.
To the believer in Jesus the carpenter, we can often reveal the gospel by speaking of our failures more than our success, because in this it points towards the one we look for who never failed, and never fails us.
In my weakness, Jesus is made strong!
