be an encourager

​It was such a beautiful day today. I’ve been attending a wonderful church with a friend and her family. It was such a powerful message about being an encourager.
Barnabas was always willing to take the outcasts, the ones who messed up, and help to restore them to fellowship with their fellow believers.
This quote from the pastor is so true, “when someone has a wreck on life’s highway, they need an ambulance, not a firing squad.” How often do we as Christians become a firing squad instead of an ambulance?
Life is full of wrecks. It’s not whether we will have a wreck, but rather when we do have one will there be someone beside us to help us heal?
Who do you know in your life that needs encouragement this week?
As I sat in church pondering the message I noticed so much the beauty that was all around me. It was so peaceful to take in God’s word and his beauty at the same time and my soul was satisfied.
