Building Project

So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another.

Romans 14:19 

 

Encouragement.  Building each other up. Peace.  All of these are good.  I, for one, thrive on encouragement.  Why?  Because, like most of us, I am my own worst critic.  Yet when someone sees something positive in you, and reminds you of it, THAT is encouraging.

 

The Apostle Paul was a big proponent of encouraging others, building each other up (with truth, not with flattery), and working together in peace.  Why?  Because our natural bent on this Earth is negative.  We're bombarded with it from all sides.  So when something positive, encouraging, and uplifting comes our way it's like finding an oasis in the middle of the most hostile desert.

 

Let's BE that oasis for each other!!
