While I was working out today, I wanted to quit, give up, throw in the towel, because my body was in so much pain. Then someone called my name and said looking good, keep going. When they spoke those words, it was like I forgot my body was screaming for me to stop. I got a burst of energy out of nowhere.
How many times have we seen someone running for the Lord, and it looked like they wanted to quit, give up, and throw in the towel? Did we become self-righteous and say something stupid like; maybe you really are not saved or maybe you’re too weak minded etc… Were we accomplices in helping them give up and walk away from God? Did our crazy comment help them seal the deal to turn their backs on God?
In times like this, a little encouragement goes a long way. We may be stronger in certain areas of our walk with Christ, but we all struggle in other areas. So, instead of tearing people down when their at their lowest point in life; try lifting them up with a few encouraging words. You may just save their life.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
