When
We Get Together, I Want To Encourage You
In
Your Faith,
But
I Also Want To Be Encouraged By Yours.
Scripture
Romans
1
12 When
we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also
want to be encouraged by yours.
Observation
Encouragement
is a two-way street. All of us need the encouragement of someone else
and they also need our encouragement. Today is Monday. Maybe you need
a little encouragement this morning or maybe you know someone who
does.
It
is always my hope when I am talking to a patient in the hospital that
my presence and my words are an encouragement to them. There are
times after leaving a patient's room that I realize that the patient
has somehow encouraged me with what he or she has said!
Yes,
encouragement is definitely a two-way street!
Who
comes to your mind that needs a phone call, or a visit? Maybe writing
an email, a text, or sending someone a note the old fashion way …
via snail mail. There is something about getting a card in the mail
that you can open up and read. A stamp is a small price to pay to
make someone's day.
Let's
look for someone to encourage today!
1
Thessalonians 5:11
So
encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already
doing.
Application
I
will look for someone to encourage today.
How
about you?
Proverbs
17:22
A
cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s
strength.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is so easy to get discouraged, but I also know it is easy
to be an encouragement to someone who is feeling low.
Help
me today to encourage someone. Show me who needs an extra minute of
my time.
I
pray for the people who I will talk to at Mission Tampa today. Help
me to be an encouragement to them.
I
pray for the person reading this blog who is having a hard time.
Encourage them, Lord. Help them to think of someone that needs their
help. Put someone on their heart that needs to be encouraged. Helping
someone else will do wonders for their spirit. Give them hope today.
Give them energy.
