Encouragement is Key

When was the last time you were encouraged by someone?

Next question.

When was the last time you encouraged someone?

Hebrews 3:13 calls us to “encourage one another daily.” Everyone needs affirmation and encouragement – and encouragement comes in many different forms. You might give a thank you note to a teacher or slip a note in a friend’s locker. It might just be a simple complement or a spoken “thank you” to someone who does an expected task (like janitors). Or it could be an acknowledgment of something someone does for you all the time – like your parents driving you to and from practice. Encouragement not only makes a person feel good, but it deepens your relationship with them.

In what ways have you been encouraged recently? How can you give encouragement?
