STRENGTHENING OTHERS

” DON’T BE SELFISH, DON’T TRY TO IMPRESS OTHERS. BE HUMBLE THINKING OF OTHERS AS BETTER THAN YOURSELVES. DON’T LOOK OUT ONLY FOR YOUR OWN INTERESTS BUT TAKE AN INTEREST IN OTHERS TOO. ” PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4

Socializing is a huge part of our lives. We have been given the ability to converse with those around us. It is important that we make good use of this time and wisely choose our words and actions. As we follow Jesus through our journey here in this world, we have been given great opportunities to socialize with other brothers and sisters as well as with non-believers. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in ourselves and our own needs that we miss these opportunities that our God puts before us. If we are being humble and thinking of others, we will not miss them. There is a purpose for all situations. It just doesn’t happen that others are placed in our path. There are needs to meet, bodies to be healed, salvations to take place, and emotionally drained individuals to be replenished with God’s strength. There is always something to be accomplished. There is always a plan in place. We should be prepared for every opportunity we have. We should stay in constant communication with our Lord God in heaven. We should ask for him to open our eyes to every situation that we confront and give us the ability to deal with it in his name. We should pray in the Holy Spirit and listen as he guides us through these situations. If we pray always and trust our Lord to answer us, then we should be alert and aware of his answers. Be ready to help others. You just may be the tool the Lord is using to help someone come to the Lord or become healed. Always be prepared with a strong faith and belief in our God in heaven. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
