ENCOURAGEMENT

“They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.  So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.”
Isaiah 41:6,7 KJV

Everyone needs to be encouraged.  We are either encouraging people or we are discouraging them.  Even Jesus needs to be encouraged.  Jesus will never have to die again but He has feelings and it breaks His heart when people keep rejecting Him.  Also, caregivers need to be encouraged.

Our pastors need to be encouraged.  When is the last time you invited your pastor to dinner?  Your pastor may not be able to come but it will encourage your pastor that you cared enough to give an invitation.  We are either an encourager or we are a discourager.  Which are you, an encourager or a discourager?

May God help us to encourage our family, our friends and everyone we know.  Remember, when we are kind and loving to others, we are kind and loving to Jesus (Matthew 25:40).  It is my heart’s desire to encourage Jesus and everyone I know.  I have nurses who come to my home and they need encouragement.
