Words That Help
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:6-24 Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. -1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) WHEN my daughter was six, I underwent abdominal surgery. For a while afterward, I was unable to bend at the waist. The first time I bent over to get something from the floor, she squealed with excitement, "Mommy, you picked it up! That means you're getting better!" Although bending was painful, my daughter's words comforted me. We encourage people to build them up. Paul urged the Thessalonians to encourage, to help, and to be patient. This is also God's will for us today. When we make conscious choices to encourage others - speaking a positive comment, complimenting a job well done, and having an understanding heart - God uses us to help them. Our words can inspire courage, hope, and confidence. By following the guidance of scripture as part of our daily routine, we can make encouragement a lifestyle. First Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us how: "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances." Then we can fully encourage others according to God's will. Danita Donnachie (California, USA) Prayer God, help us always to remember to be joyful, to pray, and to be thankful so that we encourage others. Amen. Thought for the Day Who needs my encouragement today?
