All You Need is Love Daily Devotional -7

by David Joynt on April 17, 2021


HEBREWS 10:23-25 | 23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

 One of the easiest ways to practice loving speech is to encourage someone else. You can do this by admiring something about them, or acknowledging the wisdom of what they do or say. You can express your gratitude to them for their impact on your life. You can express your belief in their value to a third person or in a public setting. You can craft a note or send an email or post a tribute.

 Build someone up today, using your words and creativity.
