Encourage One Another

By Max Lucado

When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger.  Ephesians 4:29

You have the ability, with your words, to make a person stronger.  Your words are to their soul what a vitamin is to their body.

Do not withhold encouragement from the discouraged.  Do not keep affirmation from the beaten down!  Speak words that make people stronger.  Believe in them as God has believed in you.

You are Unique

By Max Lucado

Each of us is an original.  Galatians 5:26, The Message

There are certain things you can do that no one else can.  Perhaps it is parenting, or constructing houses, or encouraging the discouraged.  There are things thatonly you can do, and you are alive to do them. 

In the great orchestra we call life, you have an instrument and a song, and you owe it to God to play them both sublimely.

My wish for you this Holy Season

What is grace?

By Max Lucado

 

“My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

What is grace? It’s what someone gives us out of the goodness of his heart, not out of the perfection of ours. The story of grace is the good news that says when we come, he gives. That’s what grace is . . .
Grace is something you did not expect. It is something you certainly could never earn. But grace is something you’d never turn down.
