Encouragement: A Weighty Subject
Jean Nidetch had a problem. As a 214 pound homemaker she was desperate to
lose weight. She finally went to the New York City Department of Health for help and
was given a diet designed by Dr. Norman Jolliffe. After two months of faithful
adherence to the diet she grew discouraged. She still had more than fifty pounds to
lose. In the midst of her depression she embarked upon an idea. She invited six of her
overweight friends to her home to share the diet and talk about strategies to stay on
it. Today, almost fifty years later, more than two million members attend over 30,000
Weight Watchers meetings in 30 countries every week.
In an interview she was asked what it was that caused her to be so successful.
She gave her response in the form of a story. When she was a teenager she used to
walk across a park where she could see mothers huddled together talking while their
toddlers sat on swings. The poor kids had no one to push them. “So,” she said, “I’d give
them a shove. And do you know what happens when you push a kid in a swing? Pretty
soon he’s pumping, doing it for himself. That’s my role in life…I’m there to give others
a shove.”
All of us need a “push” in life. We all have occasions when we get down and
discouraged. We’ve had those moments of frustrating failure and we need a shove to
pick ourselves up and go on. Or, we have worked, planned, and carried that important
project through to its conclusion and there was no one there to say, “You did a great
job!” That may be the toughest pill to swallow! That’s when we need an encourager…a
person who sees, feels, and understands. We don’t need a critic or a passive
bystander. We need someone to stand in the gap that will speak and act.
The church is designed by God to be a family of encouragers. We don’t live the
Christian life in isolation. We can’t! Let’s face it…we NEED each other! The writer of
Hebrews was a great encourager. He wrote his “word of exhortation” (13:22) to
people with “feeble arms and weak knees” (12:12) who needed to be reminded that
God “will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you helped his
people and continue to help them” (6:10). This encourager encouraged us to
“consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (10:24).
The writer calls for a creative spirit of encouragement in God’s family. He suggests
that we spend time in reflection, evaluation, and appreciation of others so that we can
know how to build them up. Let’s start today!
