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 others, you are displaying a radiant Christian example.
- 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 tells us so”! Just as the classic children’s 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 one another and edify one another, just as you are
doing.”
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 can
share and how encouraged you will be, when you become God’s “encouraging
mouthpiece”!!!
Never forget the importance of drinking your
JOY JUICE. Make sure it’s flavored with
the sweet spice of “encouragement”.
