Grace for your spirit
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season;reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. II Timothy 4:2God's recipe for a great relationship with others is encouragement with great patience and instruction. Many times it is necessary to reprove God's standard of behavior with the word. Often a light rebuke is necessary to help others see how they have missed the mark, but the most generous part of the recipe is encouragement. Preaching the word alone is not enough. Rebuking alone is brutal, but when it is mixed with a hearty exhortation, the results are usually much better. Of all the things we can say to build each other up in the faith, the word of encouragement is by far the greatest. May our words truly bless the hearts of those we come into contact with today. May it give us all a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
