Words Of Encouragement
The more I keep on reading some of such inspirational stories on this website, it has just come to mind that not long ago I spoke to a young person from Ghana on line whose father sadly had kicked him out in the street after finding out about his sexual preferences and told me that he had nowhere at all to go but to sleep out there in the cold.
Of course, I decided I had to share my own thoughts on the matter but to cut a long story short ,I tried my best to comfort him and make him feel he was indeed worth it as a person, as a whole and that his father should be proud of him no matter who his son was. Therefore, however difficult it might be for him, I suggested he should approach his dad and convince him to take him back and amazingly he did!! Having said that, he touched my heart by saying to me that even though he believed he had lost his faith I was the only one who cared enough to give it back to him!!
It just goes to show that even words of encouragement mean a lot.
