 Climbing a mountain takes teamwork. No one gets there alone. We can all begin by building one up with our words of grace and motivation, not tearing each other down. THERE ARE ALREADY ENOUGH CRITICS IN THE WORLD. LET'S EMBODY THE CHARACTER OF GOD. If you look hard enough, you can find a fault or a flaw in someone. But God almighty is focusing on what you do that is right, and showers and bestows his unconditional love on you daily. It may be in the form of a hug from a loved one, an unexpected breakthrough in healing, or a financial blessing at work.
God operates in the economy of overflow of love, goodness, health and joy. As such, we should operate in the same way as his children. When we take the time to focus on what is right about an individual, we highlight those God-given talents and that in effect honors God’s creation. God created all of us in his image and we should strive to bear his character in our daily lives. He sent his son Jesus, who lived a perfect life, free from any sin as an example to embody. His death on the cross gives us the remission of sins, and gives us his righteousness to stand before God. We on our own cannot do enough good to rectify our sinful nature. But by confessing in your mouth and believing in your heart the Lord Jesus, your sins are forgiven and when you die, you will be joined with God in heaven for all eternity. This is the pathway to salvation and it is opportune time to uplift. Be encouraged to spend more of your energy focused on spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to others than pointing out their mistakes. While judging has its role on the earth, so does evangelism. Jesus commands us in The Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel in every nation. Moreover, he commands that the gospel must be published throughout all the world. Making this the first priority in your life not only has a good effect on the planet, it also creates a ripple effect throughout eternity. Doing this will create a peace that passes all understanding in every area of your life: family, work, finances, love and lives on long after you do. We all have a purpose to fulfill on this earth. It’s time to uplift one another in love, knowing that God in heaven above is rejoicing, because God is love. Confession points on receiving the provision for your life: Colossians 1:16-17 “for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; and he is before all things and in him all things consist.” Colossians 1:19-20 “For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell, and through in to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through in, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens.” nature does not know how to acknowledge a setback.
