The Mystery
Of Christ
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping
alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time pray for us as well that God
will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ,
for which I am in prison, so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.
Conduct yourselves wisely toward
outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious,
seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
Words of encouragement can be “life
words,” bringing new motivation to our lives. People can live a long time on
just one compliment.
Christian encouragement,
is more than just a compliment or a pat on the back. Christian encouragement
can push us to be the best Christians we can be, even when life is throwing
rocks at us.
Paul told us to be gracious in our
speech. If we do that we can speak words of encouragement to Christians when
they need it the most.
Correction may
mold us,
but encouragement
will motivate us.
