God Can Use You!
“Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”
1 Peter 2:1-3

Ponder This
Paul knew what it was to be received. He knew what it was to be encouraged. He knew how crucial it was to spiritual development. You have more than money to give—you can give relationship. Why don’t you ask God, “God, give me a new believer that I can encourage and disciple.”
A new believer is like a newborn in the faith. And newborn babies need love. There was a study that said that it is virtually impossible to spoil a baby the first year of his or her life. You can’t give one too much love. Now you can spoil kids, but it is virtually impossible to spoil a baby the first year of its life. All of the love, all of the attention, all of the hugging, all of the kissing, all of the coddling you want to do, just do it.
And I want to say, correspondingly, it is virtually impossible to spoil newborn Christians. Love them, encourage them, build them up in the faith. They need to be loved. They need to be included. Step out of your comfort zone and talk to someone you don’t know; look for the person who is new or sitting on his or her own. God can use you in a mighty way to encourage the new believer and the newcomer.
- Who is a new Christian you know? What have you done to reach out to that person?
- Who encouraged you when you were new to the faith?
