This
life is hard and we need an encouraging word every now and then. So here are 7
ways we can encourage the woman in our life.
1) You are beautiful
To many magazines, TV shows and commercials tell us women that we are not beautiful till we have that size 0 waist, have no blemishes, and dress immodestly. So tell us women that we are beautiful because we need it.

1 Peter 3:3-4 “Your beauty
should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the
wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great
worth in God’s sight.”
2) You are enough
This one goes along with the last one. When we hear your ugly we also hear your not wanted, you’re not accepted here, you’re not good enough. So do your best to lift your sisters in Christ up with things like, you did a great job, keep up the good work, your amazing.

nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies
of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
3) You are Loved
We all need love, and some women do not feel loved. Whether by an indent that happened in their past or from a relationship they are in now. I don’t feel like I have to explain to you all that everyone deserves to feel loved. We should all show love to one another and tell each other often.

Psalm 139:13-16 “For you
formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise
you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul
knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in
secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed
substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were
formed for me, when as yet there was none of them”
5) You are smart
“you is kind you is smart you is important”-the help. Everyone has something they are good at, never let anyone tell you anything different. In fact God has given each and every one of us a gift to build the kingdom of God with.
