Summary

In today’s devotional we’re going to look at the role of encouragement in putting our love into action. In a world that constantly seems to beat us down, we’re in need of some real encouragement. God has an encouraging word to speak to everyone around you. And if we’ll make space to listen, he longs to share that word with us that we might see his kingdom advancing in the heart of another.

May God encourage us today, and empower us to encourage another as we make space for his loving presence.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 10:23-25, and today's worship is Take Courage by Kristine DiMarco.

Thanks for listening to today’s podcast.

As you prayed today, I hope the Lord puts someone on your heart that you can encourage.

I want to implore you to take this opportunity right now to reach out to that person. Call them,

text them, write them a note, however you want to encourage them, don’t put it off. And I’ll see you back here tomorrow where we’ll look at the role of forgiveness in putting our love into action.

If it’s been a little while, rate and review the podcast, and subscribe if you haven’t already.

And may God bless you as you seek him today.
