Encouragement

When do you feel like you need the most encouragement? Sometimes we go through our daily lives and feel like we are unloved and unnoticed. But God is watching and He sees what we are doing and loves us every step of the way. He offers us encouragement in so many ways. His word is a wonderful source of uplifting, loving, and soothing encouragement. Paul talks about this very thing in 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, he says; May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and hope which we don't deserve, comfort your hearts with all comfort, and help you in every good thing you say and do. We can depend on God to lift us up when we need it the most. Romans 15:5 directs us to live in harmony with others, to have a Christ like attitude toward others, and then we can praise the Lord together in one voice. As God fills our hearts with His love we are in turn to share that love. In other words we are to share the encouragement God gives us with people around us. We are to lift each other up. I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father is there when I need Him the most. I know that He will never leave me and will always love me. What a gift He has given us!
