“or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.”
Romans 12:8 KJV
If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion. When you exhort, you go alongside of someone to comfort, encourage, console, strengthen and stir up faith. This is how we give care to others who are in such need and we do it cheerfully, bring the joy of the Lord to strengthen the receiver. People go through the downside of life, but for a believer in the Lord Jesus, we have the mighty Holy Spirit to be led by, Who guides us into all truth and teaches us all we need for that situation. Let’s turn from the impossibility of our situation and be led by the Holy Spirit, especially the one who is exhorting another believer in the Body of Christ. Amen!
