Mutual Encouragement

I long to see you so that…you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith (Romans 1:11-12).

This summer I am privileged to be part of a weekly Bible study comprised of girls from CIU.  When we get together (and when I consider my CIU experience as a whole), I can’t help but think of the above verse.

The fellowship and commonality we enjoy as believers is remarkable.  Regardless of background or age, our love for Christ and His Word unites us.  As I listen to others share about God’s transformational work in their lives, I am encouraged not only by their faith, but also in my own.

Give the gift of encouragement today by being willing to testify to God’s grace in your life.  And when a fellow believer shares with you, allow yourself to be encouraged as you consider the greatness of our God.
