Lord, help me to encourage someone today
Imagine a child who has never been encouraged Or built up by praise Or recognition for a job well done; however small the job That child will likely be sullen Uninterested in doing well Unconcerned about improving his or her own life; or lives of others Why bother? They ask themselves Now imagine a Church filled with those children; grown to adulthood It’s a Church where nothing gets done Where personal Community and societal improvement is not the agenda Or included in mission statement at all Why bother? We ask ourselves But encouragement is not an option Supporting each other is not a suggestion It is what is required for a vibrant life-giving community
