Celebrating Miracles Together
In the realm of Jesus’s miracles, it’s crucial to extend our cheers to others. Jealousy may surface when witnessing miracles unfold for others, but let’s delve deeper into this concept.
A Touch of Faith
Recall the story of a woman with a twelve-year hemorrhage who, against all odds, believed in the healing power of touching Jesus’s cloak. Her act of faith led to a miraculous healing, demonstrating the profound impact of unwavering belief.
Beyond the Surface
While we often focus on the miraculous healing, let’s consider a different perspective—one from the crowd. Imagine being in that crowd, seeking Jesus’s attention, only to witness Him turning for someone else. How would you react in such a situation? Cheering for others amid your own needs is a challenging yet transformative practice.
Praise in the Midst of Longing
In moments when everyone around you seems blessed except for you, the challenge lies in giving praise to those the Lord chooses to bless. Cultivating a habit of glorifying God when He blesses others leads to spreading love to everyone in your vicinity.
Unwavering Love
Remember, no matter what happens, Jesus never forgets about you. His love is constant, and His command to love one another emphasizes the importance of extending that love to your neighbors.
Loving as Jesus Loved
I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35
In the above passage, Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. Cheering for the blessings in others’ lives becomes a tangible way to express appreciation for those around you and honor what Jesus expects from us.
Amplifying Goodness in the Workplace
Take your encouragement to the workplace by acknowledging the good in others. By sharing positive feedback with someone’s manager, you contribute to fostering a culture of appreciation and support.
The Generosity of Cheering
Recognize that your acts of goodness can never surpass Jesus’s generosity. Embrace the truth that cheering for others not only reflects the grace surrounding us but also contributes to building a community where others will cheer for you when your time comes.
Embrace the Journey
Avoid the temptation of sulking and questioning when your turn will come. Instead, focus on cheering for others, as this practice will inevitably create a supportive crowd that will cheer for you when your moment arrives. So, why not embrace the spirit of cheering and be a part of a cycle of positivity and encouragement?
