“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up…” (I Thessalonians 5:11).
God designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to help each other grow. None of us will reach our highest potential by ourselves. We need people in our lives to encourage us, and we need to encourage the people in our lives and help them reach their potential. The word “encourage” means to “urge forward.” Many times you can see things in other people that they don’t see themselves. You can see their strengths and talents. You can see that God has a special plan for them even though they may be going through a difficult time. Don’t assume that people see what you see in them. Take a moment and encourage them either with a kind word or a simple note. There might be a special gift you can give that will remind them of their goal or dream. In whatever way you can, urge the people in your life to keep moving forward. If you’ll be a people builder and help others fulfill their dreams, God will help you fulfill your dreams also, and you’ll live in blessing all the days of your life.
God continues to use His word to change & transform me.
Have a blessed week!

nicely put:) and your right Eric...sometimes we maybe think something of someone, and keep it to ourselves. Which can be good...UNLESS its a nice thought, or a compliment. If you walk past someone in the store for example...and they're lookin good ...tell them! Maybe they are having a bad day, and your few words can make them feel better about themselves. You never know....maybe they'll also pay it forward:)
