My theme for 2020 is blessed to bless. Here are ways to bless someone you are helping become more like Jesus.
- Pray a particular Bible verse over them.
- Text them that Bible verse.
- Complement them on something they’ve done well.
- Invite them to church.
- Pick them up and bring them to church.
- Invite them to your small group.
- Pray for someone and text them shortly after the fact that you just prayed for them.
- Tell them what you prayed for them.
- Write them a hand written note. Let them know what you appreciate about them.
- Share an observation about something that you have seen that may keep them from experiencing God‘s best for them. Do this gently and in love.
- Send them a book that helped you.
- Call, or better, FaceTime them to see how they are doing.
- Offer to meet with them to see how they are doing.
- Say, "tell me something about you."
- Ask, "What made you smile this week?"
- Ask, "what are you looking forward to this week?"
- Ask them what they are learning?
- Put a recurring event in your schedule so you are intentional about reaching out to someone.
- Include them in your regular prayer rhythm.
- Be vulnerable so they can see your humanity and know that you are not perfect, but on your own passionate pursuit of Christ.
- Share your God story.
