The Bible Says:
"Therefore,
as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially
to those who belong to the family of believers."
Galatians 6:10
The Buddy System
Have you noticed that friends
treat you differently? There are those that make you happy! There
are others that make you feel bad. Maybe you become uncomfortable
when friends put you down or disagree with you in a sarcastic
way? God's Word has some warnings for us about the kind of friend
we should or should not be. God calls them encouragers and discouragers.
Which describes the kind of friend you want to be? Do you sometimes
make a friend feel bad about who they are, or how they look?
God instructs us to be
encouragers. When we see someone who is discouraged we should
show them kindness. Showing God's love can bring hope to others.
Emmi Squirrel lost her
grip and fell from the tree. She is sad. Squirrels are suppose
to be very good climbers. Cami Cub is a caring friend. She will
comfort Emmi Squirrel. She will encourage her to try to climb
the tree again. Emmi will do better the next time. Because she
has been shown God's Great Love, she will be stronger and more
careful. Cami has been a good encourager.
God wants us to do good
to all people. He especially wants us to help and do good to
others who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and Lord. We should
pray for our Christian brothers and sisters, be good buddies
to each other, and always bring words of encouragement to each
other.
