A Life That Matters

The apostle Paul encourages us to comfort and edify each other (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
Harold Kushner, in his book Living a Life That Matters, tells us that when he spoke to people who were dying, most of them were not afraid of dying, but they were afraid that their lives were not significant. When this occurred, he encouraged the dying person’s family and friends to come in and tell the person he is appreciated and that God loves him (page 146).
The good news is you don’t have to wait until someone is dying to comfort and edify him or her. Let others know how much you love them now. Let them know their lives matter.
