EN(dur)ANCE by Robin Gudal

Encouragement comes to us in different ways. It is my challenge this week for us to consider our role in encouraging others. It is so important to lift one another up. When I have felt overwhelmed or downtrodden, if I pause and think of others, it often makes me climb out of the self-pity pit.

Have you noticed the Bible verse on the front of this publication? I have always wondered who underwrites it. Yet, that is not for me to know as I assume they choose to be anonymous. Thank you! It is so inspiring!

鈥淪o shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.鈥� 鈥� Isaiah 55:11, NKJV

Recently, they added a website reference. If you have missed this, I encourage you to look at it 鈥� www.straighttalkfromthebible.com.

鈥淪he did what she could.鈥� 鈥� Mark 14:8a, NLT.

I was so encouraged when I read and grasped this. We can only do what we can do, but we should do, lest we get lazy in loving others, encouraging them and lifting them up in prayer to our Savior. Be a vessel of kindness to someone this week.

Some time ago, I was in a place where life seemed to have a grasp of overwhelming me, and a dear friend sent me a verse. She didn鈥檛 think this simple act was much, but oh, how wrong she was!

It was a life-giving, fresh air in my lungs, a perspective changer and attitude adjuster. It鈥檚 now a go-to verse I regularly apply in my life!

We can think we have little to give, and yet it makes a big impact on others.

鈥淎nd let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.鈥� 鈥� Hebrews 10:24 NIV

鈥淓n路cour路age: give support, confidence or hope to (someone).鈥� 鈥� Google dictionary, Oxford Languages

We can all smile. We can all give a compliment. Some of us can physically help one another. We all have the gift of prayer within us. Be an encourager!
