Encouraging Word for the Week
There are no ordinary people. That’s not just philosophy—that’s kingdom reality. C.S. Lewis said it best: you’ve never met a mere mortal. Every person you laugh with, labor beside, love, ignore, or mistreat—they are immortal souls, stamped with eternity, walking in borrowed time.” “And Jesus backed it up in Matthew 25:40: ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ That means when you serve the overlooked, you’re serving the Lord. When you bless the broken, you’re blessing the King. When you honor the forgotten, heaven takes notice.”
“So don’t you dare treat people like they’re disposable. Don’t you dare walk past someone like they’re invisible. That homeless man? He’s not just a statistic—he’s a soul. That single mother? She’s not just struggling—she’s sacred. That teenager in crisis? That elder in silence? That neighbor in need? They are not ordinary—they are image-bearers of God.”
“So walk with reverence. Love with intention. Serve with compassion. Because every encounter is eternal. Every act of kindness echoes in heaven. And every soul you touch—you touch Christ Himself.”
