2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV):

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Inspirational Message:

Don’t lose hope, even when life feels heavy! Your body may tire, but your spirit is growing stronger every day through God’s grace. The struggles you face now are fleeting and pale in comparison to the incredible, eternal glory awaiting you. Keep your focus on the unseen promises of God—His love, His purpose, and His forever kingdom. Let these truths lift your soul and inspire you to press forward with courage and faith, knowing that every step brings you closer to a glory that will never fade!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
bible.com/bible/59/1th.5.11.ESV

So I was reading though the Bible app, and in the New Testament plan I’ve gone through in April, one of the last few days had an encouragement at the end of it with the work Build. That made me think about the common saying that in every interaction, you are with building up or tearing down the relationship. I think parallel to this is the distinction between an abundance mindset vs a scarcity mindset. Abundance is understanding that we have all we need and living a life of gratefulness. Scarcity is based in fear, but it is manifested in thinking we don’t have enough, aren’t enough, those around us are harming us.. it’s a very self centered and dark mindset. Even through the trials we all have from time to time, we are living in abundance, and refocusing our hearts to understanding that can reshape how we interact with those around us daily. When we recognize our own abundance, I think its more natural to build up those around us.
Consider your abundance, and build up someone today.
