Break Out the Stamps: The Result

A few months ago, I wrote a post entitled Break Out the Stamps.  It was about sending words of encouragement to someone you know the way John did to Gaius in the Bible.  At the end of it, I said I would let you know how this went for me.  The answer to that: great and enriching.  We have such a wonderful gift God gives us in the ability to encourage others.  Do you realize people pay for encouragement?  There’s a whole market for inspiration, and that isn’t bad at all, but we get to personally communicate encouragement to people and use it to strengthen our relationships at nothing more than the cost of a stamp.  Amazing.  Don’t neglect being the blessing you can be to someone.

Now is a great time to write out some words of encouragement like those found in 3 John.  It’s Christmastime, and cards are going out left and right.  Who will you send Christmas cards to?  What will the say?  Who are the one or two people on your list who you can really pour into by loving them in the truth?  Don’t pass this up. 

I hope you’ll be able to write a result before this season’s over.
