In Spite of Hell

Please take the time and put forth the effort to encourage others. If encourage is not something that you usually do, should you expect others to encourage you? Everyone needs courage and it’s not hard to do good when you’re filled with God’s Love! It can be as simple as smiling at someone, giving a good word, a kind look or a helping hand. If your heart is pure toward people then they will know it, and be encouraged when you show it. Not because of how they look or don’t look, or for what they have or haven’t done, but because you make them feel, “like someone.” Someone worthy of a moment of your time, even if all you give is a rhyme or dime. People just want to know they matter. “But we’ve all got so much on our platter!” And that’s a perfect reason to give some away, and help someone else have, a better day!

When we love,

we treat people well,

they can tell,

and we do good,

in spite of Hell.

With His Love,

be filled,

to it yield,

and through it,

let the hurt be healed.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” And “whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord.”

(Gal 6:7, Eph 6:8)
