1 Thessalonians 5:11
Encouragement is the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.
Encouragement is a ministry. It does not take too much time. It is not hard.
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.” Proverbs 12:25
“ A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” Proverbs 15:23We may be going through something. Then someone gives an encouraging word, how good is that! Lately I have hard a hard time with my asthma/anxiety. I can’t let it control me. One of the things I look forward to each day is getting to send encouraging texts. Then I also enjoy looking for material to encourage others with. I decided that even if I feel bad, I can encourage someone else. I can give good words to others.
How can we encourage others?
1)Pray for them
2)Send an encouraging text
3)Write a note
Those are the 3 biggest ways that don’t cost money and too much time.
So in this upcoming week, find someone you can encourage. Even if you feel bad, find a way to encourage, it will help you as well.
Make me a blessing to someone today!!
Excellent. Often there's no way of knowing the burden that someone may be carrying. But a word of encouragement can go a long way. When we know someone is going though a trial, prayer, a verse, a kind word and even a smile may lighten their load. And sometime White Chocolate will help!
