My name is Alex, and I want to talk about how we can help others move toward love and good deeds. It makes me think about a conversation my Grandpa and I had with my cousin. My cousin grew up not believing in Jesus, so we wanted to tell him about Jesus. That day we were talking about athletes and who changed their sport the most. Then, we talked about who changed the world the most. My Grandpa said Jesus. Surprisingly, my cousin listened with much interest. It was in that moment that I felt like God wanted me to encourage my cousin by telling him more about how much Jesus loves us. So, I did! It was that conversation that changed things for my cousin. It was then that he started to follow Jesus. I am so glad I could be part of encouraging him to learn more about Jesus and how much He loves each of us!

Think about one person in your life who you can encourage or share Jesus’s love with this week.
