Heard Calvin Miller again last night. With great stories he illustrated his main point to bless one another. Praise someone when you see them doing a good job. Thank people. Encourage people. Pray with people. And do all of these things even when they oppose you – blessing one another draws us together. Keep blessing people until it becomes so natural you don’t even realize you are doing it.
Think about what our churches could become if we all lived this way! Think of the witness to Christ if people thought of Christians and His church this way! May we grow in compassion for people and so see the love of Christ formed within us.
