Day 104 of 365

The Ministry of Encouragement

1 Thessalonians 5:11

1 Thessalonians 5:11

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

Reflection

Words have power. Encouragement can save someone's life. That coworker struggling with depression? Your words matter. That friend questioning their worth? Your affirmation matters. That spouse feeling unseen? Your appreciation matters. Encouragement isn't flattery; it's speaking truth that builds people up. It's noticing someone's effort, acknowledging their progress, and reminding them of their value. Today, encourage someone. Send a text. Make a call. Speak life. Your words could be exactly what they need.
