We want to be loved, and, more importantly, God wants us to love, too [John 13:34]. One way to pour out God’s love to others is to build each other up in faith. Hebrews 10:24–25 [NIV] reminds us to “consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”
Here are some meaningful ways to encourage one another:
- Pray for and with each other
- Speak life-giving words
- Show acts of kindness
- Celebrate victories and support through struggles
One way CHM members deliver this expression of love is through the notes of prayer and encouragement they send to fellow CHM members as they face seasons of difficult health issues. Through options like Prayers Unceasing, CHM Give, and the Prayer Wall, CHM members embrace the heart of the ministry by uplifting each other.
See how your prayers and encouragement strengthen your CHM family:
- Terri M., Brielle, NJ: I have received so many cards; I cried reading most of them. So much of God’s love is reflected in them.
- Tim H., Fremont, OH: As soon as I started my health journey with CHM, I was flooded with cards, letters, and prayers from my CHM family. The support and encouragement was immeasurable in its effect on my recovery.
- Colleen J., Cincinnati, OH: After the first appointment with the surgeon, we came home to multiple cards from CHM members who were praying for me! I received more cards with scripture verses over the coming weeks and was comforted knowing people whom I had never met were praying for me and trusting God with my health.
- Jerome B., Mansura, LA: For months after the surgery, I received cards from so many members. They all touched my heart.
- Nancy U., Brunswick, OH: During my illness, so many CHM members sent cards and prayers to help give me strength. I was overwhelmed with the caring and heartfelt messages, and they carried me through my illness.
We thank you, CHM family, for the love and generosity you pour out to your fellow members.
