| Today’s Scripture |
|
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up..." (1 Thessalonians 5:11, NIV) |
Be a People Builder |
God
designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to help
each other grow. None of us will reach our highest potential by
ourselves. We need people in our lives to encourage us, and we need to
encourage the people in our lives and help them reach their potential.
The word “encourage” means to “urge forward.” Many times, you can see
things in other people that they don’t see themselves. You can see their
strengths and talents. You can see that God has a special plan for them
even though they may be going through a difficult time. Don’t assume
that people see what you see in them.
Take
a moment and encourage them either with a kind word or a simple note.
There might be a special gift you can give that will remind them of
their goal or dream. In whatever way you can, urge the people in your
life to keep moving forward. If you’ll be a people builder and help
others fulfill their dreams, God will help you fulfill your dreams, and
you’ll live in blessing all the days of your life.
