Encouragement!

1 Thessalonians 5: 11

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

 

I meet people every day, who just need a word of encouragement.

Do you need to be encouraged today?

 

I find that when I encourage people, and they respond, I’m also the recipient of encouragement.

Too often though, we’re sometimes just too busy, to look beyond our own needs.

 

Part of the WCF Experiment that I implemented in the New Year, was a direct challenge, to drop at least two notes to people, once during each month of the year.

Here’s a sampling, of some testimonies I received in return, for sending out a small expression of encouragement, just last week……

“Thanks so much for the nice Valentine ! We really appreciate your thinking of us "old folks"

“Thank you for the Valentine's card!  It was a bright spot on a rather gloomy day.”

“By the way, that valentine you sent to us, is the first I've ever received from a guy; and I love it! The verse and what was written inside, says it all. Thanks buddy!”

 

Who do you know that needs to be encouraged today?

Why not take a chance, and then see what might come back to you.

 

“Gracious Savior, thank you for the encouragement we receive from You every day.

For the person who needs to be uplifted today, just remind them of Your great love.

In Jesus’ precious name—Amen.”
