Have you had your Joy Juice
today? Please encourage those around you
to drink it faithfully!
Why do we
need to be encouragers? I can think of
several reasons:
- It builds people up and makes then realize they have value.
- It demonstrates a caring attitude…which is wonderfully contagious!
- When you encourage others, you are displaying a Christian role model.
- Every person, young, old and in between, needs an encouraging word.
- The world would be a much better place if we all determined to be encouragers!
But the most
important reason that 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 tells us to encourage! Time and time again we find words such as:
“Therefore encourage one another and edify 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”!!!
It's so important to drink your Joy Juice, as well pouring
out encouragement onto others!
