build up

I went to a birthday party this evening. There was fellowship. There was food. There were games. Good people. A great time!

But the best time this evening was when we were given the opportunity to share our hearts with the birthday gal. My goodness, the words were such a blessing; not only for the birthday girl but for the rest of us as well.

The Bible is full of verses telling us to build each other up:

 

-Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

Proverbs 12:25


-And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Hebrews 10:24-25


-Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Ephesians 4:29


-Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:11


I hear so many people tear others down. Usually it's behind their back. How refreshing to be amongst a group of people whose desire was to build each other up.  


Feeling blessed.
