We know about the epidemic of loneliness -- it's everywhere, despite our smartphones that connect us. We aren't sure what we're connected to, or if we really want to be connected to much of it!
Paul is consistent, though, and his words are good for us. We're called to encourage one another, to help the weak, patiently serving one another. We need encouragement -- the world is hard enough. Life is hard enough. We need someone we care about to remind us to keep putting the next foot forward, trusting in the strength of God and in the power of community, that we'll be sustained through the journey. There are all sorts of people who give up, and how many of those could be prevented by a word of encouragement whispered in the dark night of the soul?
Who can you encourage today?
