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
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!
