Building up one another in the faith.
1 Thessalonians 5: 11: Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, just as you also are doing. (NASB)
How much time does it take to be an encourager, or to speak a kind word to someone that needs to be uplifted? Here Paul reminds us to continue doing the same in his words, “just as you also are doing”. A word of encouragement or appreciation directed toward someone will do wonders toward lifting their spirit. Sometimes we take encouraging someone for granted. We leave that to others we think are far better at encouraging. But remember this. You are God’s child, and this is God’s time for you to represent Him to someone else. Big responsibility, isn’t it?Don’t run away from it. God has given this responsibility to you today.
It’s time to step up to the plate. Encourage someone today.
Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, give me the heart of encouragement today. Help me to be bold as I step out and reflect You to a lost and dying world. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
