Encourage one another


We have a Christian duty
to encourage one another.
Many a time a word of praise
or thanks
or appreciation
or cheer
has kept a man (or woman)
on his (her) feet.
Blessed is the man (or woman)
who speaks such a word.

~ William Barclay ~

(I added the word woman for all us women who read this)


Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, 
but also for the interests of others.
 Philippians 2:4 (NKJV)

  2. Yes and Amen...there is nothing better than being encouraged from another Christian and there isn't anything greater than encouraging anyone on this journey of life. I can't imagine life without the encouragement God brings through others to my life.
    Thanks for this word and for also being a source of encouragement.

  4. And the blessing of this is how great *you* feel when you know you've uplifted someone with your words. They feel good and you feel good, a total win-win situation!(o:

  6. Many times I think of how much I appreciate someone and forget to voice it to them. Thanks for the good reminder!

    Encouragement is very important and sometimes not employed enough.
