Wisdom 6/16/15
It is truly human to want to hear someone
say a “well done” or “ that was a nice piece of work, or even “That idea saved
the day for us all. “ We need to be appreciated for the work we do and the ideas
we contribute.
That’s human nature, a gentle
word of appreciation is always order.
We know them as encouragers, people
ready with a pat on the back and speaking their encouragement for the work at
hand.
In the Bible at the beginning when the
Church was born such a man was Barnabas. He not only set an example, but the
Book Acts tells us that “He sold a field
that belonged to him and laid the money at the Apostle’s feet.” (Acts 4,30b).
Just when the Church could use such
help the most Barnabas supplied it. So he is called the encourager.
Such people are needed. Ones always ready
to with a pat on the back or with a word of encouragement.
Makes me wonder what kind we are? Ready
to help, or offer such a word to the effort?
It really is something for us to keep
in mind and consider, isn’t it? To be known as one such encourager makes one
not only feel as if we are contributing, or be the a worker others would want to have around.
Just keep it in mind.
YOU
the Encourager?
