"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness" Hebrews 3:13
This is quite a verse that says a lot about believing in others and the impact they can make on how far you get in your walk with God.
Do you ever need encouragement? Maybe encouragement to hear that you can make it in the long race of life? Perhaps you need encouragement that your marriage is going to make it, or maybe you need encouragement that you can find a job, or that your life is worth living with purpose - well people in the church, are the ones who should be there for each other.
As you start a new day, ask God who needs to hear encouragement that they can make it. God will give you the words which will bring life to their situation. ...and go speak them, text them, or say them face to face!

I agree with you on this one. Encouragement is my passion, because I know it makes a difference for me! I believe if we could learn to say encouraging words to each other, we could change the world one person at a time.
How to encourage

A speaker started off his message by holding up a $20 bill.
In the room of 200 people, he asked, "who would like this $20 bill?" All the hands went up in the room. He said, "I'm going to give this to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then proceeded to crumple the bill up. He then asked, "who still wants it now?" Still, all the hands went up in the air. "Well", he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped the $20 bill on the ground and began grinding into the ground with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Again, every hand went into the air. My dear friends, you all have learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it, because, in your eyes, it did not decrease in value. No matter what I do, it is still worth $20 dollars." Then he proceeded to explain that many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and even ground into the dirt. Mostly by the decisions we make regarding the circumstances that come across our paths. We feel that we are worthless, but, no matter what has happened or what will happen, we actually never lose our value, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely pressed. You are priceless to God! The worth of your life comes, not from what you do, or from who you know, but, from who you are! A child of God! You are special, never forget that! You will never know the lives you have already touched, and the lives you will touch with Christ! You will never know how much you are needed to the hurting hearts you speak to each day! You will never know how much hope you bring to others, just by believing in Christ!
God bless you Paul.
