Today’s Word of Hope:Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Hebrews 10:24 (NLT). The word “supportive” means providing or showing support. Supportive people are understanding and compassionate, offer help and encouragement, and motivate those in need. They do not condemn us when we fail or commit any mistakes. Jesus is the perfect example of being supportive. Peter denied Jesus three times before the servants of the religious leaders. Jesus could have condemned Peter. Nevertheless, Jesus forgave him, showed extraordinary care in restoring Peter’s faith, and helped him grow to be one of the pillars of the ancient church. Later in the book of Acts and other epistles, we read how many of his disciples emulated this character during their missional lives. - God expects the same from you and me today.- Analyze your life to see whether you are critical and quick to condemn or if you are forgiving and supportive of others.- No one is perfect; however, instead of judging, if we can take extra steps to rebuke, correct, help, and motivate, we can restore many weak, vulnerable, and backslidden persons to Jesus. Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me motivate others as acts of love and restore them to you. Amen.
