Easy
11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-13
I am amazed by the number of people I see daily who try and take the easy way out. They do work to a certain level, maybe just enough to get by or they try and find the easy way out by putting in no effort at all. I saw a kid and his dad at the baseball field tonight, one that I have known for a number of years. He was working out with his dad, I am sure just hours after he had worked out with his college team. He is one that doesn't find the easy way out with baseball, but continues to work hard to reach his goal. We all need to look at ourselves to not find the easy way out in life but work hard in coming closer to God and encouraging others. Sometimes it is "easy" to just pass by someone without encouraging them or lifting their spirits, but we should go out of our way to do God's work. We must hold all around us in a higher regard and work hard to spread God's love.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
