The key is…to encourage!

We all need to be encouraged. Yet, this world’s mentality is rarely one of encouragement, and that’s what God wants to change in us.

Encouraging is:

• Valuing the other
• Being confident in his/her capabilities
• Upholding him/her
• Saying “you can do it!”
• And being supportive as he/she takes risks!

Encouragement is the heart of the Good News. It’s exactly what Jesus does with us.

One day, Muriel and I decided to invite friends and give an offering to this couple who was going through a difficult time. When we explained to them our desire to support them financially, they said, very touched, “So, you believe in us?”

The Bible teaches us, ““Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you…”” (see Matthew 7:12, NLT)

A key to experiencing acceleration, divine favor, is…encouraging others, sowing into them. It means living your life with a positive attitude of support and encouragement.

God wants to make you a source of encouragement. Today, ask Him to give you creative ways to reveal the best in those around you.

It may be with a text, an invitation to get coffee together, or a note left on a Post-it. Be an encourager! Say to others, “thanks for existing!”
