Today : Encouragement
TODAY’S VERSE
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29 (NLT)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
What a wonderful calling. What a tremendous privilege is ours. God has called us to be an encourager. Encouragement. It can change a person’s life; alter the destiny of families. Nations can rise and fall – alright, maybe not that dramatic, but who can deny the power of encouragement? How many of us have been overwhelmed, about ready to give up and someone stopped and in a loving moment, poured encouragement all over us? Is there anything more refreshing? God loves the whole world and He has chosen you and I to be His messenger of encouragement. Might He lead us to someone in need of encouragement today.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank You for all the times You have sent encouragement my way. I pray that today You might help me be an encourager to someone who so desperately needs it. Give me eyes to see people the way You do and to say things that are good and helpful so that my words might be an encouragement to those who hear them. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I am an encourager
Stop and picture the different people you might see today. See yourself smiling and encouraging them. Picture them smiling and being uplifted by your kindness. Feel the warmth of emotion as you know that God’s love reached out to them through you. Say out loud, “Today I will encourage others!”
