Have you ever thought to yourself, “I should contact that person and …” 

You could end this in a variety of ways. Perhaps you should catch up after an extended absence. Maybe you need to offer encouragement as you noticed they seemed down lately. It could be that you were reminded how much this person had blessed your life, and you want to tell them. There could be a thousand things that pop into your mind that you could write, text, or call and say that could be a blessing.

After a lifetime as a Christian leader, I have discovered that God often places things like this in your mind because he wants you to make a positive impact. Every time I send someone a thoughtful message, they are thankful for the kindness. Often, I later find out how much that encouragement meant to them at that exact moment.

I firmly believe that following Jesus means being obedient to the instructions of scripture, but it can also mean listening to that little voice of the Holy Spirit inside of you.
