Building One Another  

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. I Thessalonians 5:11

Helping People Find Joy in Jesus!

Dear Friend

Is a major aim of your life to help people find joy in Jesus?

There are many ups and downs in the lives we lead, yet always we know the immediate presence of the Lord who loves us and his promise of joy!

     “These things I (Jesus) have spoken to you, that my joy may be in your and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11

      “Jesus… who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross.” Hebrews 12:2

You may encourage the people in your life with words such as: I am with you! I will help you! Take heart! Well Done!

Yet, the One who also says these things and will be with the people in your life, whether you are there or not, is Jesus.

So, above all, remind people of the joy in Jesus, even as you offer them good cheer, your presence and your help

“The joy of the Lord is your strength!” Nehemiah 8:10

Scripture from the ESV

1. Is a major aim of your life to help people find joy In Jesus?
2. If your answer is no - then why not - and are you willing to begin even if your beginning efforts create a bit of anxiety in you? Just remember, if a person discovers more of the joy of Jesus because of your encouragement, even it you are nervous, the result will be joy for you both!
3. If you answer is yes, then how do you do it and how may your become even more effective in stirring people to center on the person and joy of Jesus?
