1 Thessalonians 5:11 English Standard
Version (ESV)
11 Therefore
encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
“Good morning, hope you are all doing well and I hope
your week is just awesome!” Words of encouragement, maybe many or just a few,
maybe to a few people or maybe just one. In today’s social media world of
instant contact, and in today’s world of hurry, hurry, high stress areas of
life, maybe just a few placed words can make the difference in someone’s day.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians
states in this verse a “therefore”, meaning that he is exhorting the church to
encourage one another, and to build one another up. Paul is telling them that
as people of Christ, as people who live with Christ in them, we are more than
built and designed to lift people up.
When we bring encouragement into another persons life,
we not only understand their need for encouragement, we also understand our own
comprehension of how we are connected to one another. As we need encouragement,
we know that others do as well.
So send someone a quick text message, send them a
quick tweet, or maybe a card or phone call. It is God’s need that is designed
that we communicate the good news and happiness that can only be expressed by
His people of unending and eternal life.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
Pastor Tim.
Thank you!
