1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do."
"How do you know if someone needs encouragement? If they're breathing" - Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy
Everyone is in need of encouragement. Each day life issues
extract courage from other human beings. Indeed, we all are candidates to
receive back courage from another caring soul. We need to hear, "Job well
done", "You can do it", "You are a blessing", "You
are a gift from the Lord", "I need you" and "I love
you". Like the gas tank in an automobile, people need a regular fill up
of encouraging words, kind deeds and a listening ear.
When you give others hope—you become hopeful. When you give others peace—you become peaceful. When you give others faith—you become faithful. When you give others comfort—you become comforted. When you give others encouragement—you become encouraged. When you give others Jesus—you become like Jesus!
No one normally complains of too much encouragement, so be a regular replenisher of courage. Most of all lead others to be refreshed by the Lord.
