a girl like you (7)

In this last week in this series on ministry marriage, Lesley encourages us to think about how a ministry-wife might be her husband's helper. She uses examples from her own experience.



I will encourage him in his ministry. I encourage him to be faithful to Jesus, to keep on trusting God when the going gets tough. I will act as a sounding board when he needs to talk and discuss things. I can give feedback when he wants it. I will give perspective when there is criticism. I can see when he is becoming overtired and strongly urge him to take some time out.

Think.
  1. What can I say or do to encourage my husband?
  2. What are the signs that my husband needs encouraging? What discourages him?
  3. Do I do or say things that discourage him? How can I change this?
Pray about these things.
