Pastor’s Thoughts: ―The Gift of Encouragement.‖ Do you hear it? Listen carefully. Now do you hear it? No? Okay, then turn on your television -any channel will do. Now do you hear it? Still no? Well, it’s there all right, but you might have missed it. Go to your front door and open it wide. Listen to the sounds in the streets. Did you hear it? Believe me, it is there! This time close your door, turn off the television, and listen to the sounds in your own home. Do you hear it? To be certain, listen to your own heart. You hear that? Of course you do. It’s unmistakable, coming through loud and clear: ―I WANT TO BE LOVED.‖ But wait, there’s more. Listen closer: ―AND I WANT TO LOVE.‖ A WORLD’S CRY If you tune in to this world of made-in-the-image-of-God people, you will hear a cry to be loved and to love. These are two of man’s most basic desires. We are shaped by those who love us or refuse to love us, and by those whom we love or refuse to love. Love is crucial! This is no news to God—He created us for love. And Jesus said our love for God and for our neighbor is the fulfillment of all the law of God. The world cries out for genuine love, love which heals, unites, and encourages. Dr. Karl Menninger, famed American psychiatrist, found that people who are able to give and receive love recover more quickly from their illnesses. In contrast, individuals who lack love often develop personality scars and some even die. Love is essential to our emotional, physical, mental, and social well-being. In his best-selling book, Games People Play, Dr. Eric Berne discussed the tremendous human need for encouragement, by word and by touch, to keep their spinal cords from shriveling-–to keep them alive, eager, and confident. His book highlights the variety of games people devise to win this sort of healing attention. Someone has suggested that most Americans suffer from a severe case of attention deprivation; we don’t know if anybody really cares about us. Some of the Bible’s saddest words are found in one of the Old Testament psalms when David cries out in a moment of extreme loneliness, ―No one cares for my soul‖ (Psalm 142:4).
SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH Luke 2:13-14 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with an angel, praising God and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.
