We need to lift each other up and never tear each other down – we need encourage one another along our way with the hope, that yes, something we may say or do will actually help someone in their time of need.
None of know what the person next to us is going through, yet I’m sure we can bet, and yes, win the bet by saying, that yes – everyone is going through something and we’re not alone in our struggles.
They may be different and we may think ours are bigger than theirs, but to each of us our struggles are real, and yes, they can be big – so big that we get lost in that struggle, and at times, simply can’t seem to find our way out.
Although we know our struggles are real, we also know and serve a Living God – He is big, and yes, His love for us is bigger, and yes, since we’re created in His very image – we need to do all we can to imitate Him and His unconditional love, by yes, comforting and encouraging one another in a kind and gentle way.
Just like Jesus does – loving one another in spite of and not because of, just like He does. His love is truly the greatest love we’ll ever know – He is the very essence of love itself, and that love of His will always and forever meant to be – shared.
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God”
1 John 4:7
