1 Thessalonians 5:11,14





 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.


 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all (1 Thessalonians 5:11,14).


We as human beings tend to accomplish more if someone believes in us and encourages us. All of us can grow fainthearted without encouragement.  Just one encouraging word can make a big difference in someone's life.Most men spend a big part of their lives looking and waiting for approval often from their fathers and some from their wives and children or their boss. Yet one day We should all hope to hear well done my true and faithful servant, that means you have received the approval of our Heavenly  Father. So encourage someone today!  Whether you are a husband, a wife, or a child, no one enjoys
being with a crabby, complaining person. But everyone loves to be around someone who encourages them.  After all if your are a true child of God then you should be filled with the love of Christ, which means those around you should be able to see it. After all we told the world will know us by the love we have, not by  your grumpy attitude, but by the love.  The problem is that the media and the world has told you what you need to do to be happy, but happiness fades, when I got my Ipad two years ago for Father's day I was so happy, now its just a tool I use for ministry and around the house work or computer and network issue that friends might have. However the joy of the Lord does not fade or ever grow old.
