Therefore encourage one another and build each other up...
First Thessalonians 5:11
NIV
God our creator, designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to help each other grow. It is not possible for any of us to reach our highest potential all by ourselves.
We all need people in our lives to encourage us. We also need to encourage the people in our lives and also help them reach their own potentials.
The word “encourage”, which is the opposite of discourage, means to “urge forward.”
Many times, we can see potentials in other people that they don’t see themselves.
You can see their strengths, potentials and talents. You can see that God has a special and unique plan for them, even though they may presently be going through a very difficult time.
Don’t assume that people see what you see in them, because they might not.
Spend time with them and encourage them either with a kind word or a simple note. There might also be a special gift you can give to them that will remind them of their goals or dreams.
In whatever way you can, encourage the people in your life to keep moving forward and make progress.
If you choose to be a people builder and help others fulfill their dreams, God will help you fulfill your own dreams, and you will live in exceeding blessings all the days of your life.
Say this prayer with me
Dear Father, I thank You for the wonderful people You have strategically placed in my life.
Help me find ways to build them up and find creative ways to encourage them forward to Your glory alone in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Happy New Month from me to you!
