ENCOURAGE: I have been thinking recently how important it is to encourage and strengthen each other—to build one another up. This led me to looking up the word encouragement. I thought I would share a few verses with you on encouraging each other….Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” Acts 20:2 “He (Paul) traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece,” Romans 15:4 “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. “ Philippians 2:1-3: “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, “ 2 Thes. 2:16 “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, “Philemon 1:7 “Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.“
