Make them giants....

I can be such a soppy person sometimes! Watching an O2 and Rugby advert thinking wow! How inspiring! So bare with me in this blog!

In the advert, there are some strangely tall men walking around the city - a little bit like different BFGs walking around! I'm actually thinking this is an advert for the BFG2! Soon, it becomes obvious that these giants are the English rugby team and every time they are encouraged and supported they grow and become ... more giant. And hence the statement at the end of the advert - make them giants.

This then led me to think about how we treat people, what we sow into people and what we input into people. The sad thing is that sometimes we spend time bringing others down - seemingly worried that we can make others bigger than ourselves and therefore we become smaller. But this advert reminds me to make the people around me giants, to encourage the best in others. 

The irony in that is that in doing so we'll become giants. Proverbs 27:17 reads that 'as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another'. We can inspire and encourage each other to be giants.
