We are to be encouragers

​8-17-23
Today's devotion is based on Romans 15:1-2, "We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up."
 
These verses urge us to support those who are weaker than ourselves and to prioritize the needs of others over our own desires. As Christians, we are called to use our abilities to help those who require assistance. Even if we do not possess the financial or physical resources to aid someone, we can still be a source of comfort and encouragement. We can speak positively about others and pray with them, demonstrating Christ's love.
 
Let us take a moment to pray together: Heavenly Father, who created and sustains all things, visible and invisible, please guide me to be a source of encouragement to those in need today. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
