Special

Today, I want to talk to those of you who use words to make folk feel good, or at least feel better, no matter what circumstances they find themselves in, in life. There are many professions or hobbies that fall into the category mentioned above, writers, speakers, and singers, just to name a few. I wanted to take the time to tell you that you are special. You have been given a gift of using words to uplift your fellowman. (Isaiah 50:4)

If you do any of the above-mentioned things very much at all, you probably have a dream about where you are headed and have had it for quite some time. You probably also have people that try to dash your hopes in that dream. Don't let it bother you overmuch; it comes with the territory, success. Remember how Joseph was ridiculed and hated because of his dreams? (Genesis 37)

Whatever

In spite of what others do and say to you in a negative way regarding your dream, do not stop dreaming. You hold on to that dream because it is precious and because you are special. And remember this, a good book, song, or speech,  causes the body to build endorphins, a feel-good hormone.  Thus, when you do your writing, speaking, singing, etc. you are doing the thing that you were meant to do, making mankind forget their cares for a while. If God is behind your dream, there is nothing anyone can do to keep you from fulfilling that dream. Be blessed.
