ALL OF US

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Romans 3:23
King James Version

None of us are perfect and that includes me. There are times when we do things and say things to others that hurts Jesus and breaks His heart. Instead of criticizing each other, we need to be encouragers to one another.

We are told to be encouragers to one another in the Bible. "They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.

So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. Isaiah 41:6, 7."

Are we an encouragement to our family and to our friends? The most important question that each one of us needs to answer is do my family and friends know I love Jesus by my actions and words?

How sad it would be if our children didn't see Jesus in our actions and hear Him in our words. May God help us to be an encouragement to one another instead of criticizing and causing problems.
