Words of Encouragement January - 25 - 2004
Have you noticed how words of blessing are in such short supply? There is something about our fallen state that makes sarcasm and ridicule easier to use than blessing. But, in God's family, words are always to be used for the benefit and blessing of others. What simpler or kinder words do we need to use to bless others than these words Paul sent to Philemon? Let's find a way to say them... and say them again... and again...
Let us read Philemon 1:25.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.
Loving Father, you have blessed us so much with your grace. Please use us to be a blessing to everyone we meet today.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
