“...Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls

behind or drops out”~ (Ephesians 6:18, The Message)

"... 並 要 在 此 儆 醒 不 倦 、 為 眾 聖 徒 祈 求"

It’s easy to be someone’s friend when they’ve got it

all together, when they’re walking in blessing and

prosperity. Anybody can believe in people after they’re

successful, after they graduate, after they’re promoted,

after they get their big break. But, people need our support

the most before they get their breakthrough. They need us

to look past their faults and failures and see their potential.

Most times, people just need a little “push” of

encouragement to keep them moving forward. We should

always put ourselves in the other person’s shoes and see

things from their perspective. You may have some good

advice that could save them a lot of heartache and pain.

Don’t keep it to yourself. Pick up the phone. Help them win.

Maybe you excelled in a college course that they’re

struggling in. Don’t sit back and think, “Too bad.

They’ve got to learn it the hard way.” No, you are

the hands and feet of Jesus. When you help others rise

higher, you are fulfilling His mission. Today, share your

love, support and encouragement. Invest life in others,

see their potential, and together, you’ll rise higher into

the blessing God has for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for giving me influence with the

people in my life. Thank You for equipping me to help

others rise higher. Reveal to me the potential You have

deposited in the people around me and show me ways

to help them so we can win at life together.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
