“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you do.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Lumin’s Faithful Translation
The setting
Paul wrote this letter to new believers in Thessalonica who faced opposition for following Jesus. He wanted them to see their shared life as a place where everyone actively supports the others rather than standing alone.
Reflection
How might naming one concrete way a fellow believer is already building others up change the way you interact with them today?
A prayer
Jesus, show me the person who needs a word from me right now and give me the simple courage to give it.
Carry it with you
Today, send a short note to one person naming a specific way you see them growing and how it helps others. Offer to talk or pray with them about one area where they feel stuck.
