Day 71 - Encourage

Life is about loving through encouragement.  We can touch lives everyday and bring encouragement and joy to all around us.  We are called to be set apart.  I can say that sometimes you would never know I was a Christian as my behavior was no different from the non-Christians around me.  To be set apart is rising above the worldly ways.  I believe we must surround ourselves with the word and meditate about how we should live like Jesus.  Once we believe and accept the presence of the Holy Spirit within us, we can let the Spirit take over where we are weak.  It is no longer about winning, or being right, or proving your point.  It is all about sharing your love with everyone around you.  By your example people will see your difference.  You will be able to lead by example. God needs strong examples of Jesus-like people in this world today.  People no matter what circumstance are righteous and holy and pleasing to God.  Step deeper into your faith.  I challenge you to raise yourself to the next level in your journey with God.  Forget the past and only look ahead on your journey.  Your reward will be , "We'll done good and faithful servant!"

Peace...
