1 Thessalonians 5:11
Courageous people have the strength to face pain, grief, uncertainty, difficulty and fear. Courageous people run toward what others run away from. Courage is a skill that we learn but is also an attitude that we choose to have. No matter how courageous we may be, we need others to remind us and instill us with courage. Encouragement is not praise. Encouragement is a gift we can give others by helping them to know "You can do it and I am here for you as you do it."
Lord, thank You for being the best at encouraging me and help me to encourage others.
