Encourage One Another....JOYfully!



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Please encourage those around you to drink it faithfully!

            Why do we need to be encouragers to those around us?  I can think of several reasons right off the top of my head:

  • It builds them up and makes then realize they have self-worth.
  • It demonstrates a caring attitude.
  • When you encourage them, you are displaying a Christian role model.
  • EVERYONE needs an encouraging word.
  • The world would be a much better place if we all determined to be encouragers!

BUT THE MAIN REASON I believe we should want to be an encourager, is simply because “The Bible says so”!  Just as the song says: “Jesus loves me this I know..for the Bible tells me so”.  The Bible also tells us to ENCOURAGE!  Time and time again we find words such as:
Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
   In Hebrews 3:13 we read: "But encourage one another daily as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness." 

Many other times throughout the Word of God we are instructed to “encourage”.  Are you being obedient?  You’ll be surprised at how much JOY you’ll share and how encouraged you will be when you become God’s “encouraging mouthpiece”!!!

          May we be reminded of the importance of drinking our JOY JUICE, as well as being an ENCOURAGEMENT to all those God brings into our life....today and EVERY day!
