“My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ” – Colossians 2:2
Joel Manby is the CEO of Herschend Family Entertainment, a company that operates theme parks, aquariums, and other family attractions. In 2010, Manby was featured in the TV hit, “Undercover Boss.” In the show, he mentioned that he took a job with Herchend because of their Christian values. While working undercover, Joel discovered what most of the bosses discover. Their employees work hard, have overcome many challenges and have good ideas. At the end of the show, when the workers find out they’re working alongside their boss, Manby seemed genuinely touched when people wept at the words, “Well done,” from him.
In a later interview, Joel said he has come to the conclusion that CEO ought to stand for Chief Encouragement Officer.
We all need to be encouraged and to encourage others that in Jesus Christ, we are children of God! Today in prayer, praise the Lord that you have a Heavenly Father and family who want you to become all God has designed you to be.
“Encouragement is food for the heart, and every heart is a hungry heart.” – Pat Morley
God’s Word: “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” – Philippians 2:1-2
