I was working on cleaning off my desk before I start revisions on a writing project. I had a few reasons for my desire to do this household chore. One, I think better when I have a clean desk. Two, I was trying to find where I had written a scripture that I wanted to incorporate in my changes to my novel. Three, I was procrastinating a bit after pouring my heart and soul into a project only to have it not quite meet standards. Satan was doing his best to discourage me, and succeeding in some areas.
But then, my dear son sent me some encouragement. He didn't realize I was floundering. The short video he sent me, made me smile, laugh, and even cry. Most importantly though, it reminded me to keep on the race, and push toward the areas where I believe God is calling me.
"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17
Is there someone in your life that needs encouragement today? What can you do to share God's hope and love with them?
And in case you are interested, here's the video my son sent to me.
