Encourage One Another

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Encouraging someone can change their day for the better.

We all need encouragement and to be built up from time to time. We must also look for opportunities to encourage others and build them up. It is not always about us.

Encouraging others helps us look outside ourselves and put others above ourselves. It puts the focus on someone else, rather than ourselves.

Encouraging others helps us walk in humility and celebrate what God is doing in others’ lives, even if we do not see what we want in our own lives.

Sometimes, it can be hard to encourage someone else when we feel like we need to be encouraged. But the best thing we can do in those circumstances is ask the Lord to help us encourage others, expecting nothing in return.

What a beautiful offering to the Lord it would be if we could get out of ourselves when we are struggling and encourage someone else. He will always be pleased with such a sacrifice
