People need encouragement!
I know I do!
I think about the different people in my life right now who are dealing with ... "something"! The sweet lady across the street from me comes to mind who just found out she has Lung Cancer! The family member also comes to mind who is lonely & doesn't know why! The friend of mine who is a new mom and feels extremely drained and overwhelmed! The husband who feels like he struggles to provide for his family! The wife who feels like she isn't good enough! The neighbor who struggles with anger and self control! The sweet friends whose marriage is crumbling! My heart goes out to so many people..... many not even mentioned! My heart even goes out to people I don't know!
We, as Christians, are called to LOVE, to encourage, to build up.... to meet the needs of others and to serve! We are called to consider others better than ourselves!
I can be sooo selfish sometimes, thinking of my OWN needs, my OWN desires! I desire for the Lord to change my heart and mold me into who he wants me to be! I want to be an encourager and help those who need me.... even those who don't think they need anyone. I desire to live a life of LOVE!
If you know me, hold me accountable to this..... ask me, who have you encouraged today? Who have you loved today? Who have you built up today?
-Philippians 2:3
-1 Corinthians 4:1-2
-Mark 10:45
-John 12:26
God, show me how to live like you, be more like you! I want my life to reflect you! -Amen.
