Remember the children's book, The Little Engine That Could. It’s an
illustrated children's book published in the 1930’s about a little train engine.
The underlying theme — a stranded train is unable to find an engine willing to
take it on a journey over difficult terrain to its final destination. Only the
little blue engine is willing to try, while repeating the mantra: "I think
I can, I think I can." Encouraged, the little engine that thought it
could…did. She completed the mission and saved the day. During the early days
of the church the
Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Thessalonica saying: "...So encourage each other and give each other
strength..."
Everyone
can use a little encouragement from time to time. Are you an encourager? If you
are, then you are the one who urges others become more effective. Encouragers help
others take the next step they might not take on their own. They think of others first. They are less
likely to take credit. Encouragers are happiest when others excel. They are not
as self-centered as many our society can be. Their Godly gift is of building
others up, in sincerity and in love. Do you have what it takes to tell others
that you think they can? Just a Sunday Thought…Pastor Keith #minm.church #minmchurch
