Encourage the Disheartened

And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. — 1 Thessalonians 5:14

Lots of people have become disheartened during this time of social distancing.

Others have become disruptive.

God calls us to encourage the disheartened.

He charges us to help the weak.

And to go beyond even helping others, by being patient with them,

Not something we can do on our own.

Only with God's help is it possible for us to be patient when we want to lash out and be rude.
