Someone needs encouragement today!

Everyone needs encouragement! There is someone next to you that needs to be encouraged. Your co-worker might be going through a difficult time at home and needs your encouragement. The bodega worker where you buy your milk might need a kind and gentle word today. Your spouse might need a loving word from you today. Your child might need some extra understanding and grace today. You have within you God’s precious Spirit of grace. Let your words release love, grace, mercy and encouragement today. It might be the only encouraging word they they hear today, and they will greatly appreciate it

Hebrews 10: 25 “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near”

We are God’s hands!

One of the great privileges we get is to be God’s hands in this world. In other words, we get to express His love to this world by our actions of love and grace. One of the ways we get to do this is to be kind to the poor. When we give to the poor, it blesses God’s heart, and He rewards us when we do so. Proverbs 19:17 (ISV) says: “Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord— the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance”. Notice that it says the gift to the poor will return to us in abundance! We can never out-give God. He is MOST generous, and when He sees that we are righteously representing Him, He will continue to resource us with abundant provision so that we could continue to be generous with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8 & 11(NLT) says: “AndGod will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous”. Most people know what it is to be in need. And when someone blesses you when you are in need, it’s like a cold glass of water in a hot, desert day!. Now it’s your turn. Who are you going to bless? Or let me put it this way: Who is God going to bless through you?
