1 Thessalonians 5

Have you ever had an unexpected word of encouragement from someone? Do you remember how uplifting it was? Our words and actions have so much power. With them, we can build people up or tear them down. Paul reminds us that we are to be in the business of building people up. We live in a society that is quick to complain and point out error, but rarely points out the good. When we take the time to comfort people and encourage them, we reflect the love of Christ.

Take some time today and encourage someone in your life. Watch how it brightens their day and then remember that is the way Jesus has called us to live.

For the King,

Pastor Daniel Batistelli
