working

Working on encouraging, sharing God's loving guidance and helping others can be both interesting and difficult.  Sometimes it is a gentle word.  Sometimes it is just a smile.  Sometimes it is polite when the last thing a person wants to be doing is "polite."  Working on the encouragement is how we grow stronger in our own relationship with God as we help strengthen their relationship with God.  Words of encouragement: "and we labor, working with our own hands.  When reviled, we bless;  when persecuted, we endure."  (1 Corinthians 4:12 ESV)
