Hebrews 10:24 - "Let's focus on how we can push one another toward love and good deeds."
Sometimes we become complacent. Sometimes we go full steam toward things that are outside of God's plan for us. Sometimes we freeze, are scared, and can't or won't move at all.
Sometimes what we need is a good push. A push to move us back away from the calamity that we are running toward; a push to shake us out of our complacency and help us refocus; or a good, swift kick in the pants to get us moving toward the good plans that God has for us.
As members of this Body of Christ, we have a responsibility to each other and to the Body as a whole to be available to push when a good push is needed.
Are we holding each other accountable? Not just making sure that we are staying away from the negative things that plague each of us - though this kind of brotherhood accountability is vital to Kingdom growth - but holding each other accountable to keep moving forward? Are we looking for ways to push one another toward love and toward fulfilling the good deeds that God has for us to accomplish?
I firmly believe that when we are at Christ's seat of Judgment we will be held to an account not only for the good and bad things that we did, but also for the opportunities we missed to do what God had for us to do - AND also for the opportunities that we missed to push those within our sphere of influence toward doing what God had for them to do.
