Encouragement for Today

The more time you spend with God the deeper your relationship with Him can grow. And when this happens, you begin to reflect Him out into the world to others. You will focus more on the good than the not so good, you will be more loving to the people around you, and encouragement toward others will flow through you. In essence, you become like Jesus the more time you spend with Him. So, with this in mind, talk to Him and invite Him along with you all day long. Make it your goal to spend as much time with Him as you can, then watch your life begin to shine with the light that He gives you on to the people around you. And don’t forget to “hold tightly to what is good” because you have so much good inside you!
