TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out"
Ephesians 6:18
TODAY'S WORD:
It's easy to be someone's friend when they've got it all together, when they're walking in blessing and prosperity. Anybody can believe in people after they're successful, after they graduate, after they're promoted, after they get their big break. But, people need our support the most before they get their breakthrough. They need us to look past their faults and failures and see their potential. At the close of every worship service we share the word on our screen "Come as you are…leave better". We need to learn as Christian brothers and sister to truly be there for one another.
Most times, people just need a little "push" of encouragement to keep them moving forward. We should always put ourselves in the other person's shoes and see things from their perspective. You may have some good advice that could save them a lot of heartache and pain. Don't keep it to yourself. Pick up the phone. Help them win. Maybe you excelled in a college course that they're struggling in. Don't sit back and think, "Too bad. They've got to learn it the hard way." No, you are the hands and feet of Jesus. When you help others rise higher, you are fulfilling His mission.
Selah people' and friends today, share your love, support and encouragement. Invest life in others, see their potential, and together, you'll rise higher into the blessing God has for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for giving me influence with the people in my life. Thank You for equipping me to help others rise higher. Reveal to me the potential You have deposited in the people around me and show me ways to help them so we can win at life together. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
Your Brother In Christ,
Patrick
