"Let me be a messenger of strength.
Remind me to use my thoughts and words to affirm."
Alan Cohen
A DEEP BREATH OF LIFE
Our friend is in pain and we inwardly struggle to come up with appropriate words that will fill his or her heart and not phrases that coldly hang in stagnant air. Numerous phrases come to mind, but all of them seem trite and not capable of gathering a broken heart.
A meaningful affirmation of the person's strength can be more peaceful and comforting than a loose chain of sympathy. We can look at our friend and recall his or her exceptional qualities and use them as support. When we focus on their authentic skills, we will be reminding them of their personal power.
When we articulate sincere reminders of creativity, resilience, and perceptions, the listener can gradually feel whole again. This feeling of completeness moves them into his or her spiritual reminders of never being alone. When reminded of who we really are, we are more capable in moving into and out of any of life's challenges. When we share affirmations with our friend, God is using us as messengers to deliver the deepest source of love.
