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 Thes 5:11) just sit on the page until we act on them and make them come alive.
Here’s something you can do to breathe life into those words:
- Think of someone who needs a shot of encouragement.
- Think of a specific action that would give this person a boost.
- Decide how you could do it. (Writing a note, making a phone call, having a face-to-face over a cup of coffee.)
- Commit to doing it.
- Do it.
Be the reason for someone having a better day.
