"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." Maya Angelou
So many times when we are in the midst of a storm we search and search on how to make the sky brighter for us. We wonder what it is that can get us out and search for an answer. But listen here, what if you, my friend, are the answer?
You see, sometimes to brighten your stormy sky, we have to light up somebody's else's. As Maya Angelou said, "try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." If you are feeling low, if you are feeling down and discouraged about whatever the situation might be that you are going through, try to brighten someone else's day. Someone else who is going through a storm themselves. Someone else who is going through a hard situation like you, try to brighten their sky. Try to be that rainbow that Maya Angelou is talking about. Because you see, when we brighten up someone else's life, even though we may not realize it, we are also brightening up our own. When you encourage someone, and when you uplift them with a Godly spirit, that light inside of you is overflowing out to others, and in the process, you are getting encouragement. You know that you, with the help and guidance of God, are the reason that these people got out of their storm, and that sense of accomplishment that you will have, there is no greater feeling.
So today if you are in the middle of a storm and aren't seeing a way out, brighten up someone else's day, be a rainbow in their storm, and be the encouragement that they need.
