We are at our best when we are able to see one another and share with one another our sorrows AND our victories. We are encouraged and able to offer encouragement.  Our joys are multiplied and our troubles become bearable when we realize we are not alone.

Why do so many of us struggle with loneliness and hidden disappointments?

Unfortunately the culture has taught us to compare ourselves to one another rather than compliment one another.  We have been conditioned to believe that our issues are always and only our own – nobody knows – nobody understands – and most unfortunately – we believe no one cares. I’m here to remind us today that our struggle is not our own, unless we make it so.  We needn’t move through the world under such false notions.  

But I also offer you this one caveat – the grace we need is the grace that is also required of us.  In as much as we need support, encouragement, we must make ourselves available to support and encourage others. While we crave and need support and encouragement – make sure that you are making yourself available to encourage and support others.  Get it?

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-25

Good Morning, I love you all!
