Breaking the Silence

I see it every day at school.  The person to my right is trying to hide the pain of his home life through a faint smile, and another is silently going about, holding on to the name she was called in the last class. It's a sad reality of life...sin is everywhere, and it is the reason for self-defeat.  As Christians, we can't continue to stay silent, because we have a reason we are all here-to spread the gospel.   When you witness someone confounded in a despairing mood, step up to plate and give the person a pat on the back, make sure they know just how much God loves them; words of encouragement are like rays of sunshine that could light up their rainy day.
