Sometimes, we see individuals "forged from a hotter flame," Recognising and supporting them is essential, especially if they align with kingdom values. James 1:12 (ESV) reminds us, "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” Wow, what a verse.
Pray that God guides and strengthens them further. Our prayers can be a source of encouragement, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey. Additionally, offering practical support and friendship helps to affirm their efforts and reinforce their commitment to living out kingdom principles.
Their experiences can inspire and challenge us to deepen our faith and commitment to God. Together, we can work towards building a community that reflects the values of God's kingdom, supporting and uplifting one another through prayer and active encouragement.
