In need of renewal

Are you in need of renewal?
For the Lord has driven out great and powerful nations for you, and no one has yet been able to defeat him.
Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised.
So be careful to love the Lord your God.
Joshua 23:9-11 NLT

When strength fails and we grow weary, we need someone to come alongside us, show understanding, cheer us up, and inspire us to have the strength and commitment to move on.

When bills pile up and money runs short, we need an encourager.

When we become single parents and the world seems against us, we need an encourager.

When friends and family turn against us, we need an encourager.

Our strength and resolve weaken.

Oh, for someone to come beside us and lift us up and comfort us.

Encouragers help us stir renewed commitment, renewed resolve.

They inspire us with courage and hope.

Encouragers bring a beautiful gift, often a spiritual gift, when they bring renewal through encouragement.
