A LITTLE PUSH

1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

I saw this picture and it made me realise that sometimes we all need a little push, a little help! Those days when we’ve maybe run out of steam and everything can seem too much effort. It usually means we’ve been doing too much and we need a rest!

The Lord designed us to need to recharge our batteries every week which is why He gave us a day to rest, to worship Him and take our eyes off our problems and have a break.😊

Maybe though you’ve just lost some of your enthusiasm for the things of God over a period of time. They used to say if you take a coal out of the fire it soon goes cold, so if that’s you, maybe this is the time to get back in the fire, back into reading the scriptures, back into church if you’ve not been for a while, and allow God to give you the loving push you need to reconnect with Him and His good plans for your life.

And if you see someone else who’s struggling at the minute, draw alongside and give them some help, a little push in the right direction, to let them know they’re loved and appreciated and that they’re precious to God.  

We all need encouragement from time to time so let’s do as our verse says and build one another up and help bear one another’s burdens. We can all draw out the good in someone by blessing them, and tell them they’re doing better than they think, that God will never abandon them no matter how far away they might feel, and His arms are always open wide to welcome them back. He’s saying all that to each one of us.😊

So this is a little push from me to help anyone who might need it today, to keep believing, keep trusting and never give up. God’s not mad at you. He loves you and always will.😊 Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x
