Please Help Me Grow

Read Hebrews 10:23-25

We have been looking at intentionally caring for our friends enough to first tell them about Christ and second help them grow in their relationship with Christ. As you look at this passage the call is for us to be intentional. Being intentional means I make a point to do something. When thinking about our friends it is not enough to just pray and hope they grow we must be intentional about seeing them grow. We must make it a point to encourage them, to get them a Bible if needs be, teach them to pray or whatever else it takes to help them grow. The key is verse 24 (let us consider how we can spur one another on to love and good deeds). The spur is the word that gives us the challenge to be intentional. Our friends need us to be intentional about helping them grow, just as a baby needs his/her parents to be intentional about feeding or taking care of him/her, so your friends spiritual growth need you to be intentional.

Father help us to be intentional about helping our friends to grow in their relationship with you. Give us the determination to do whatever it takes to help them grow.
