How many times have you felt the need to tell someone about an experience you have faced in life? It may have been an experience you were not proud to have been faced with, or an experience that was very difficult for you to get through. The reason you felt like sharing your experience was because you knew it would encourage the person not to fear what they were facing in life. That is what God wants us to do, he wants us to uplift others by sharing our life experiences. ( 1 THES. 5:11 Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.) If I am going to have a medical procedure, I want the doctor with the most experience to perform the surgery. If I’m going through a life experience, I want the one who has already overcome that crisis to speak peace and victory to calm all my fears. Things happen to us for a reason, God wants us to encourage and build others up by sharing our victories. Share your life experiences with someone today. Pastor Don
