Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV

God longs for us to encourage and help one another. When we serve the Lord with gladness, we show others how much He loves us. He helps us make a difference in their lives.

God prepares us to recognize the needs of others and learn how it feels to respond. He uses us in mighty ways. He readies us to find strength from His love and remember our service to Him is more than obligation.

Someone may need what we have to give; compassion from acts of kindness and the love of Jesus in our hearts. He shows how to share so much more. He reminds us how to be a faithful friend and bring peace to those who need it.

If we reflect the love of Christ, surely others will see Him in what we do. God will be honored if we love one another. He will use us for His glory. As we serve Him with a grateful heart, He will reward and bless the lives of others. He will fill us with gladness and joy!

We may be the answer to a prayer for hope. God will use us in mighty ways if we humble our hearts for Him, open our eyes for opportunity and truly care about the needs of those around us. Now more than ever, we need to share love that's been given to us and help others remember they are not alone.

“God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10 NIV

Dear God, Thank you for Your presence. You ready us to share the love of Jesus as we love one another. Let us never become too busy to be an answer to someone else’s prayer. We will open our eyes for the blessings You provide and welcome joy that simply comes from sharing kindness. Thank you, Lord. Thank you! Amen
