We All Need Encouragement (FOOD FOR THOUGHT)
READ! Luke 22:31-32
''And the Lord said,[c] “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
If we think we don’t need God who reaches out to us through Christ, because we believe we can make it on our own, we are headed for a fall. We cannot transform and change our lives for the better without God’s help, and if we think we can, then we are deluding ourselves. And we also need good friends to accompany us on our journey of faith, and to encourage us to seek God’s help.
We are all in some way or other subject to incapacity, whether through sin and selfishness, or simply human weakness and fragility. If our lives are to be transformed and renewed, then we need the grace of the Holy Spirit, and the support and encouragement of each other.
