I have three clients with whom I sometimes go into deep conversations. We often talk about things God has put on our hearts to do for others or creative ideas for fresh ways to be a blessing. I believe conversations like this are very pleasing to God because it stirs up the gifts in us.
The idea of encouraging others to be aggressive in doing good works is not new. Hebrews 10:24 says we should consider one another in order to stir up love and good works. We should actually study and think about how we can stir others to do good works and loving helpful deeds. In doing so we allow the goodness of God to work through us. Rather than feeling foolish when our good deeds are taken for granted.
Following God by myself is powerful, but I find that it's a thousand times more enjoyable with others. I would like to challenge you to find like-minded people who want to follow God. Enlist people you know and invite them to a planning session on practical ways to live out a Christian life. Find ways that you can serve God and live out His love together.
Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, connect me with the right people who will partner with me to follow You more. I want to live the Christian life with others, stirring up the gifts in each other in order to live out God's love.![]()
