Message From Our Pastor
“I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. . .”

2 Corinthians 7:4a
A young schoolboy was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother knew that he had set his heart on it, though she was afraid he wouldn’t be chosen. On the day the parts were awarded, she drove to school to pick him up. The young boy rushed up to her, his eyes shining with pride and excitement. His mother asked, “Well, were you chosen for a part in the play?” What he said to her contains a lesson for everyone: “I’ve been chosen to clap and cheer!”
The young boy was given an important part in the school play. He was the one to offer appreciation of a fine school production.
The encourager has such an important part in today’s world. Praise and appreciation can open the door to healthy relationships. A kind word of affirmation will smooth out rough edges. A “pat on the back” or a genuine handshake promotes goodwill and lifts one’s spirit.
So maybe we should spend our days offering compliments. As we affirm one another God is pleased. Paul writes in Philemon, “Brother Philemon, every time I pray, I mention you and give thanks to my God. . .Your love, has brought me great joy and much encouragement! You have cheered the hearts of all God’s people.” (Philemon 4:7)
So if all you can do is “clap and cheer” then “clap and cheer” with all your might!
Blessings, David
