Life can be hard. You know Jesus has saved you and is working in you, but what about the practical side of living the victorious life day to day? For example, as a Christian are you perplexed as to why you experience so much fear with all you know about the delivering power of Christ? Are you in the midst of a trial and just want to be reminded that you are not alone? Are you seeking encouragement to help you get out of bed in the morning and "do life" another day? Are you afraid you do not have the strength to persevere?
Don't worry, you are not alone! These are all real issues for all followers of Christ. We are all basically the same inside and have the same hurts, fears, and challenges...and we were never meant to fight the struggles of life on our own. Sometimes when our own faith seems weak, we need to "borrow" the faith of another person who has come through our struggles and has seen the Lord's faithfulness.
As Words
It is important that we do not isolate ourselves from other trusted Christians. There will most likely be times of discouragement for all of us, and we need a Christian brother or sister to speak to us those precious words of Christian encouragement. If you are especially isolated for some reason, consider some careful searching on the Internet to find the Christian encouragement and fellowship you need at any time of the day or night.
Each of us can move toward more spiritual freedom and joy as we share Christian words of encouragement with each other. Often the insight of a fellow follower of Jesus will be just the nugget of truth we need on a given day. And we are reminded we are not alone.
