Thanks for existing!

I deeply believe in the value of encouragement!

And I believe even more strongly that we’re living in a society that tends to highlight weaknesses rather than strengths.

This is why, this morning, I want to say…bravo!

Bravo! Bravo for all that you’re doing! Bravo for who you are, and bravo for who you’re becoming!

As the Americans say, “Good job,” my friend!

I know that you’re seeking to please God. I know that you’re seeking to become better day after day. I know that you’re leaning on God for this.

For all these reasons, and for still many others that I don’t know, I want to say it and say it again…bravo! Good job!

Who are you going to encourage today? Who are you going to tell…“thanks for existing”?

“When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.” (the Bible, Acts 15:31-32)
