Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Oh, how we need to be encouraged.
     God's Word instructs us to build up one another in Love.
     We need it so deeply, but it does not happen as often as one would think.  I 
believe the reason is because the laid down lives are few.
     We are to lay our lives down for one another.  We are to put aside our own
fleshly needs - the need to be right, the need to be recognized, the need to belong - 
and we are to give of ourselves to build up one another.
     Brothers and sisters, are you bloated tonight?  Are you bloated with self-pity and 
fleshly despair?  Do you want out?
    Build up the Brethren!
