ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER

Life can be lonely, but as a child of God you are never alone.

When we give our lives to Christ, we are never alone. Not only is God with us 24/7 and available to listen to our concerns we bring in prayer, He softly rains his love and grace over our lives day in and out – whether we choose to receive it or not. Some people tend to see the Christian life as lacking joy. It is so not the case.  We are all sinners and when we stumble He picks us up and brushes us off and points us in the right direction.

The Word says “He delights in us!” Me? You say. Hard to believe isn’t it? He even builds a family of believers around us if we let Him. Some of us may be the only Christian in a family. But in church we will find people who become our brothers and sisters in Christ. They support us, love us and encourage us.

This blog is about seeing God through His creation. We all need people around us to encourage us. The Australian Corellas are a great example. They travel in flocks and  always sound happy and are always chattering and squawking at each other. So I have added scriptures to these photos just to remind us of what the Bible says about encouragement.

Being a Christian is about relationship – our relationship with God and with each other. It’s about feeling loved, feeling encouraged and supported, being comforted, having others to pray for you in times of need, and having the opportunity to stand in the gap and pray for others.

I’ll let this little guy have the last word, as he hangs by one toe. Bet you can’t do that!

Blessings,
