The men who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize. --Elizabeth Harrison
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13
Why kick a man when they are down when you can lift them up with kind words, a compassionate gesture, or an act of pure love? Is that not what Jesus did for you and me? When we were lost in sin He gave us His Word which is the kindest thing anyone can do. When we needed hand up He lifted us up and out of the miry clay setting our feet on the Solid Foundation. When we needed redemption He shed His blood on the Cross of Calvary for our sin redeeming our souls from the very grips of Hell!
