“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11
we did a spiritual gifts study at church, years ago and i was told my my gift was the gift of encouraging:)
this taken from todays devotion:
It is not possible to consistently feed on the Bible and not be encouraged. Believe His word, and you will be encouraged. His promises are true: He has forgiven you, He has accepted you, He loves you, He walks with you, and He desires you. This is encouraging! Be encouraged so that you can encourage others. It is encouraging to encourage others. You see a person breathe a sigh of relief, and you are encouraged. You see them do the wise thing, and you are encouraged.
You train a child in the way that he should go. Then he lives for God and you are eternally encouraged.
shel and james. i pray you find encouragement for all the support you have received from all your brothers and sisters in Christ, praying unceasingly for God to comfort you and to give you peace…………i love you
