Not sure if you know this or not but your life brings others joy… or at least it can!
2 Corinthians is the most intimate of letters Paul wrote. We get insight of Paul, but we also get insight to the work the Holy Spirit had done in Paul’s life. We find out as Titus visits Paul in Macedonia he encouraged Paul by sharing the church in Corinth had repented of their sins. They had turned to the Lord.
“I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.” 2 Corinthians 7:9
Every day we get an opportunity to minister to each other. We get the chance to pray, share a word of encouragement, and/or Scripture with those in our sphere of influence (home, work, or hangout). Remember, we shouldn’t do it for results but to be obedient to the Lord. But when we witness people responding to the Spirit it’s a joy, right?
So be an encourager either by responding to the Spirit’s conviction in your life or by sharing with others the Lord’s best for their lives. There is joy when we recognize the Spirit of God working in and through our lives!
