There is power in encouragement. Studies have shown that words have a significant impact on the human brain. And the messages that we replay in our minds can either lift us up or drag us down. The same is true in our spiritual life.

There are days when we feel like giving up.

Days when nothing seems to go right.

Days when we are unsure of what the future may bring.

Days when we wonder if God knows our address, much less if He even remembers our name.

It is at those times that we can use an encouraging word. Just one powerful thought, one powerful promise, one powerful assurance that can be the lift we need to help us carry on.

Gathered here are more than 3 months of daily encouraging words drawn from the classic book on the life of Christ, entitled, The Desire of Ages, by Ellen G. White. In a unique and inspiring way, the short quote on each page will give you a thought to cherish all day. And as you ponder and turn over in your mind an encouraging word, the power of heaven will lead you to dwell on these promises and cultivate courage and positivity.

We all need encouragement. And those around us with their perplexities and disappointments could use some as well. So, let these words lift you up and at the same time enable you to spread a little encouragement in your corner of the world.
