\o/ \o/~~~~~~~~(((( Hidup oleh Roh, Dipimpin oleh Roh, Gal.5:25 ))))~~~~~~~\o/ \o/ From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Friend, We should never underestimate the power that our kind words possess. It is easy for us to look at others and forget to compliment the good work that they are doing. We need to remember that God calls us the children of light. The main purpose for light is to shine forth so that people may see the direction they are to follow clearly and easily. When we encourage others by complimenting them on a job well done, our light shines forth towards that one and in effect their light shines a little brighter. The Lord knows the power of encouragement because in Romans 12:10 we read, "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another." Be encouraged to say a good word when you see someone in need of it and know that the impact of your kindness is sure to never be forgotten. (Matthew 5:16) (1 Thessalonians 5:11-15) (Job 4:3-4) I hope today's message encourages you to shine your light forth so that others may be encouraged to continue on with the work that they have started. ECHOES OF KIND WORDS A little boy said to his father, "Let's play darts. I'll throw the darts and you say, 'Wonderful!'" Here is a boy who was not afraid to ask for the encouragement he needs. Maybe we all have something to learn from him! Inspirational author and educator, Fr. Brian Cavanaugh, relates a story about the devastating effects of discouragement. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th Century poet and artist, was once approached by an elderly man who asked him to look at a few of his sketches and drawings. The gentleman wanted to know if the artist thought they were of any value. As gently as possible, Rossetti told the man that the sketches were of no value and showed little talent. He apologized for the harsh assessment but said that he believed he should be honest. The visitor was disappointed but asked the artist if he could take a look at just a few more, which were all done by a young art student. Rossetti looked over the second batch of sketches and quickly became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. "These," he said, "Oh, these are good." He went on to say that the young student shows much promise and should be given every help and encouragement, as he may have a great future if he will study and work hard. The old man was deeply moved. Rossetti asked, "Who is this fine, young artist? Your son?" "No," replied the visitor sadly. "It is I -- 40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then. For you see, I became discouraged and gave up too soon." Mother Teresa wisely said, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Sometimes it may be enough to just say, "Wonderful!" Author Unknown I can only imagine of the dreams and aspirations that were never realized because that one was discouraged to continue on and accomplish the goals that were in their hearts. There is not one person in this world that will not suffer some kind of discouragement when pursuing the goals that are in their hearts. We must remember that even the great apostle Paul was discouraged from time to time and was reassured by the Lord that He was with him and that all is well. Just as the Lord encouraged Paul to continue on, so are we to encourage one another to never give up but rather continue on with a refreshed fervor knowing that God is with them. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10) (Acts 18:9-11) (Romans 12:14-21) If you are finding yourself wanting to quit the task that God has laid upon your heart, Be encouraged to continue your work and know that the Lord would never ask you to accomplish that task if He didn't already know that you were the right person for the job. (Romans 12:3-8) (Hebrews 12:1-2) Read and meditate on these scriptures: Hebrews 12:1-3 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." 1 John 4:10-12 "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us." Philippians 3:13-14 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Psalm 37:3-6 "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday." All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
