Carry each other’s burdens.
—Galatians 6:2
Some scriptures wait on us for their fulfillment.
For instance, the words “encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thess. 5:11) just sit on the page until we act on them and make them come alive.
Here’s a way to breathe life into those words …
1) Think of someone that needs a shot of encouragement.
2) Think of a specific action that would give this person a boost.
3) Decide how it could be done. (Writing a note, making a phone call, having a face-to-face over a cup of coffee …)
4) Commit to doing it.
5) Follow through.
Little thoughts, followed
by action, bring big results.
