The Blessing of Encouragers…

“encourage one another and build each other up” ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Who has been an encouraging presence in your journey of faith? Frequently the answer is minister, parent, grandparent, other relative or friend. In some cases the presence certainly comes from more serendipitous encounters with “strangers.”

This Our Daily Bread devotional (HERE) shares some historical examples of encouragers. It’s wonderful perspective as we consider spurring ourselves on to be encouraging to others.

POTENTIAL ACTIONS:  Who will you see today who might use a word or act of encouragement?

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
