[S] Acts 15:30-31 --
30 So when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31 When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement.
[O] These days we have so many channels of communication -- email, Facebook, sms, twitter.com, blog, etc. -- in fact, it's an overload of communication. As they say quantity does NOT equal quality and I am wondering how much of our overloaded communication encourage others such as this letter read to the congregation in Antioch church did. I can just see how they were rejoicing after hearing the letter, clapping hands and hugging each other.
[A] As I communicate with others via many means I should carefully choose the words to encourage them and to report what God is doing so that when they read it, they will be uplifted rather than weighing down such as so much of what's in the news these days.
[P] Dear God, You are the message of hope and as I soak up more and more of Your hope, may it overflow to many others I come in touch with. What I write on Facebook, email, or blog, may it carry the light of Your hope. In Jesus' name. Amen.
