Encourage one another...

 As you go out into your day, remember that we are here to
encourage one another.  

We have been given the precious gift of prayer, which brings us into God's Presence to be strengthened, equipped and guided by His Holy Spirit.  

We have His Holy Word, that arms us with wisdom and authority to stand strong against all that may trip us up or drag us down.
And we have each other, as Hebrews 3:13 reminds us "to encourage one another daily... ^"   

The Living Bible says it this way,  

"Speak to each other about these things every day while there is still time so that none of you will become hardened against God, being blinded by the glamour of sin." 

We need to encourage each other to honor our Creator with every word, thought and deed.

                              

1 John 2:28-3:6   Living Bible (TLB)

 And now, my little children, stay in happy fellowship with the Lord so that when he comes you will be sure that all is well and will not have to be ashamed and shrink back from meeting him. ²⁹ Since we know that God is always good and does only right, we may rightly assume that all those who do right are his children.

3 See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children—think of it—and we really are! But since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children. ² Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, right now, and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is. ³ And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure.

⁴ But those who keep on sinning are against God, for every sin is done against the will of God. ⁵ And you know that he became a man so that he could take away our sins, and that there is no sin in him, no missing of God’s will at any time in any way. ⁶ So if we stay close to him, obedient to him, we won’t be sinning either; but as for those who keep on sinning, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known him or become his.


Cheering you on!
