I want a formula! : Day 18 of 31

Forget right-brain, touchy-feely story stuff, you say. Just give me a formula I can follow to connect the dots between my life, my world, and God.

Okay.

Perspective + insight + truth = encouragement

If you know the truth and you get a wide perspective on it, and you think and add deep insight into what you’re seeing, you WILL be encouraged. Every time.

Of course the perspective and insight parts are full of touchy-feely, imprecise story stuff. Sorry.

To keep it simple you could just stick with the facts of truth. But facts by themselves are like the ingredients of a cake all laid out on the counter. Not very tasty. Not meant to be consumed alone. Meant to be connected.

Here’s the un-formula way to say it:

Dots get lonely. Introduce them to friends.
