If there’s someone like Lisa in your life, encourage them today. When you do, you’ll be living out Hebrews 3:13.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. My friend Lisa, who is a vibrant Christian, struggles terribly with chronic pain every day. I wrote her recently to encourage her, and I got a reply. In a very frank and honest moment, Lisa wrote, “Joni, it’s amazing how on a Sunday I can be filled with the Spirit, but then, when Monday comes, the sadness hits when I realize my circumstances aren’t going to change. And that’s why I’ve come to understand that this is why we should ‘encourage each other daily’ just as it says in Hebrews 3:13. I’m the kind of Christian who needs daily encouragement and I thank you, Joni, for giving it to me.” You know what, friend? You and I are the same kind of Christian that Lisa is. Life is hard, very hard. So we must encourage each other daily. Surely there is a Lisa in your life. Well, encourage them today – when you do, you’ll be living out Hebrews 3:13.
