Every act of encouragement and every word of love matters to God and can touch lives in ways you may never see.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And I have learned that every word of encouragement, every message shared from platforms great and small; every uplifting note I write, every letter I send or phone call I give to someone who hurts and is struggling; every time I name the name of Jesus or give his love, all of it counts. Hebrews 4:13 tells me that nothing is hidden from God’s sight, “… Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” That’s a weighty responsibility for a Christian, but don’t let it alarm you. It is also very good news. It means that God takes note of every incidental encouragement you offer, every seemingly insignificant good deed you do. So today, be encouraged – your good words and actions count in God’s eyes. Today let everything you say and do make God look good in the eyes of others.
