Encouraging Others

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Recently with all the happenings in our world, my memory keeps replaying lyrics from a popular song from my childhood in the 1960s. It addressed how the world needs love, more love, for everyone.

We live in a fast-paced world, and we often miss opportunities to show Godโ€™s love to our neighbors. We can show love, encouragement, and compassion with just a smile, a pat on the back, or a quick note saying, โ€œgood job.โ€ Paul says in Acts 20:35, โ€œIt is more blessed to give than to receive.โ€ This is most certainly true, as we are blessed by loving and encouraging others.

God will be your encourager when you connect to His Word. Go to www.lwml.org/bible-studies for Bible studies and devotions.
