“…Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you are doing….” – 1 Thessalonians 5: 11 (NKJV)

The writer is telling us that we need to encourage, admonish and exhort one another and to edify (strengthen and build up) one another.

Oh how we all need to have a word of encouragement!! It makes all the difference in the world as to how we perform in our jobs, in our home, and even in our ministries. People tend to focus only on the negative, rather than the positive. They focus on things such as the mistakes we may make and hopeless situations we sometimes feel we’re in. But just one word of encouragement can change all that! Just one word can encourage a person to carry on and give it their best, their all! When we speak a word of encouragement to someone it makes that person feel appreciated. It lets them know that they do make a difference.

Start now, and as you go about your day, let’s be mindful of the people we come in contact with, and let’s speak an encouraging word. I guarantee it will brighten their day!

Encourage someone today!!
Because through it, we lift the spirits of others higher!
