5.4.15

Happy Monday to you!

There will be times in life where you will be stronger in your faith than your spouse, children, friend, etc. There will also be times in life where you will be weaker in your faith. It is important that you stay connected to your loved ones during both seasons. When you are stronger, you have the ability to encourage them in their walk with the Lord. You can pray for their healing, comfort, and increased faith. When you are weaker, you have the ability to lean on your loved ones. They can also pray for you, share encouraging scriptures with you, and remind you of instances where God showed Himself mighty in your life. Ultimately, you have to avoid isolation. Never run away from the Church (aka the family of Christ) or your loved ones in times of distress. Be honest about your weakness and trust God that He has placed people in your life who can empower you. Today, if you don’t believe that you have anyone in your life to encourage you, I have news for you. I am here to encourage you, and this website has numerous posts that can speak to what you are going through. Do not give up on God. Keep trusting in His sovereignty and His steadfast love for you. And if you are strong in your faith, encourage those in your life who are weak.

If this is your first time visiting this website, I encourage you to join us as we study the book of Proverbs this month. Today is May 4th, and we are currently reading Proverbs 4. Let's continue to grow in God together.

Love,

CompassionateLee
