Well it is a BEAUTIFUL warm day today. As much as we've all awaited more days like this, it doesn't provide all the light to one's life that is needed. In this world, there is still pain, grief and suffering even on a gorgeous day. We are meant and sent to encourage and love one another.
Hebrews 3; 12-14 ''See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.''
Sometimes the trials meant to make us stronger in our faith can make us angry and doubt God's purpose in our lives. That's when we as believers need to encourage each other the most. 'Tell the people around you what they could be with the strengths that are there, even if you only see a little bit of it. Because by naming it, you can nurture it.'
You never know what battle some people are fighting so just be the Light to their darkness.
Oh, that we would all take this advice and run with it! There are so many hurting people in the world, or people who live in darkness that we would never run out of folks to encourage. Thanks for the words of exhortation.
