Encourage One Another

Encouragement goes straight to the heart. In fact, the world itself comes from a combination of the prefix 'en' which means 'to put into' and the Latin word 'cor' which means 'heart. Knowing what a big difference encouragement makes in your life. What can you do to help others 'to take heart' when the going gets tough and way feels long?

You can use encouragement as an outreach. If anyone should be known for being an encourager, is should be the Christian. Become aware of what encourages you, and do those same things for others. If an encouraging thought comes to mind, share it! It may not have the same effect if you wait. Don't let shyness hold you back. Instead, form a new habit. "Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today..." (Hebrews 3:13)


Add a few words of praise for the person's abilities, accomplishment, about how they've helped you or about the nature of your relationship. Encourage, your friends, co-workers, parents, siblings, neighbors, people in your church, teachers, doctors, grandparents, ill or infirmed, disfranchised..., etc...

When someone is discouraged or hurting, offer specific, practical help. It's better to ask, "Would it help if I... (specific action)?" or say, "I would like to... (specific action)?" As a Christian, remind fellow Christians and those around you and in your neighborhood of the specific promises of God and characteristics of God.

We may know something with our mind, but need to be reminded in our heart. The Apostle Peter wrote, "I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have" (2 Peter 1:12).

Simply say, write someone a note to tell them that you are praying for them. Tell them what you're praying. You can pray specific scriptures for individuals such as Romans 15:13, " [I pray that] the God of hope [will] fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
