Who doesn’t need a little encouragement every now and then? I know I do. It is easy to get discouraged when the world is in so much turmoil and divisiveness rules the day. This may seem to be the worst of times but we’ve experienced plenty of hard times before. We’ll most likely have more. Life is full of highs and lows.
This underscores the need for us to lift each other up and lighten the burden of our neighbor. Your ups may come when your friend or family member is down. Encourage them so that you may be encouraged by them when you are down. Lend an ear, share a word of encouragement, or just be there for them.
God calls us to be in fellowship so that we don’t have to be alone. We are stronger when we stand together. If you are not part of a church family I urge you to consider finding one and getting involved. Encourage each other and be encouraged!
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT) - “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
