Lifting Up The Lives of Others

April 28, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“My purpose: to lift your spirit and to motivate you.” ~ Mavis Staples

For a person of faith and one who has enjoyed liberation over their hurts, habits, and hang-ups comes a considerable responsibility to lift the spirits of others. Our purpose is to create a spiritual environment where others can experience comfort and peace and engage the Spirit of God. The opportunity to bless others is available inside every circle of life.

The pillars of life will cause those we love to stumble. Economics, aging, sickness, and death rear their ugly head at different times throughout our lives. It’s heart-wrenching to watch those we love suffer from the fear of uncertainty and the pain caused by suffering. We have a fantastic opportunity as Spirit people to bless countless people merely with our presence and comforting Spirit. Nothing more is required. We don’t have to have all the right words to say; we need only to listen, comfort, and love.

Are you intentional about creating a spiritual environment for others to experience the Spirit of God?

Lord, thank You for the grace, healing, comfort, and joy you have brought to my life. I know you have called me to be a channel for Your love and service to others. Please liberate me from any character flaws that prohibit me from putting my will in line with Yours. May Your will not mine always materialize, now and forever. Amen.
