Notes

romans 1:11-12 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

Encouragement and support are things we all need to keep us motivated, loved, and feeling confident in ourselves and what we do. Our words carry the power to motivate, influence, and provide strength to others. Reassuring someone is easy and quick but may mean the world to someone. It’s something that is important for our mental and overall health and it truly can give us just the same amount of joy to give it to others as it is to receive it.

Most of us know what it can feel like to pursue something new, like a project, or maybe just venting your problems, and not get any feedback or encouragement. Sometimes you just want to quit and it feels hard to stick with your plans. Plus, it can lead to discouragement. Even sometimes just praying doesn't feel like it helps a lot.

You need a good moral support and a community that can help encourage and support you whatever you go through. And that, along with prayer and reading the Bible punctually, will help you. Supporting others is really important. We may not know what that person is going through. Respecting them and their boundaries is important as well. Encouragement can provide people with strength to look ahead, move forward,and reach for the next goal.

The whole emotional tone of a tough situation can be transformed through encouragement. Encouragement can help people do the things that they might not ordinarily do. Even some simple words is enough to help someone through what they may be experiencing. Even just checking up on them can mean a lot to someone.

What does the Bible have to say about encouraging others? Jesus wants us to support and encourage one another like how we want to be treated. Our words can affect people greatly, and can bring some relief during stressful times. When we see encouragement in practice it solidifies what the Bible says about encouragement. Seeing encouragement in action is a firm reminder of its importance in our lives.

Encouragement sustains and lifts us up. It gives us energy and relief and the reassurance that someone cares for us. With enough prayer and support from loved ones, someone who may be facing stress and a lot of weight on their shoulders can feel some relief. Our words have a lot of power to motivate and help cheer someone up. The Bible tells us to encourage one another like we want to be encouraged during tough times. Even a check-up or a few words of reassurance can lift someone's spirits up.
