Words of Encouragement
Do you remember one of the earliest questions in the Bible? It was directed to Cain. "Where is your brother Abel?" To which Cain responded: "Am I my brother's keeper?"
Paul's answer is a clear and undeniable yes! We must look to the interest of others and not just our own. Here is what Paul said in his letter to the church at Philippi. -- Philippians 2:3-4
"3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."
Let us go to our heavenly Father in Prayer:
Father, teach me to love your family as you do. We get so caught up and distracted with our own world and our own problems that we forget to notice those who are hurting around us. Help us to grow more aware and more attuned to those needs so you may minister through us.
In the powerful name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
