Building up One Another

Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

As we walk through this challenging life - a life that Jesus assured us would be challenging (John 16:33), we must support one another. We must encourage one another. We must strengthen and build one another up. We must be intentional about being mindful of what is happening with our brothers and sisters and generously and lovingly doing all that we can do to be a support to them. These relationships are of immeasurable value and we get the privilege of standing for and with one another as we deepen in relationships. And for those of us who struggle with pride (Yeah, I’m one of those!), I encourage you to allow and enjoy this loving support from the people that the Father brings in to your life. We need one another and the Father has connected us as brothers and sisters through the blood of our Savior.

Let’s be diligent about building one another up.
