Do you feel a little tired? Down? Depressed? I know - we all do from time to time. That's part of life, it's part of being a human being. But for you and me who are born again children of allmighty God, we don't have to stay that way! We can be refreshed! And we can also refresh others who need it.
Don't believe it? Read these scriptures from the Bible, and see for yourself. Here we see people who have been tired, down and depressed, and they are refreshed or refreshing others!
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25)
... so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. (Romans 15:32)
For they refreshed my spirit and yours also. Such men deserve recognition. (1 Corinthians 16:18)
By all this we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you. (2 Corinthians 7:13)
May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. (2 Timothy 1:16)
Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. (Filemon 1:7).
No need to stay depressed any longer. God wants you to be refreshed! And if you don't know anyone who can refresh you, why don't you go out and find someone whom YOU CAN REFRESH?
He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed!
