Become an Encourager!





Are you an encourager? Everyone needs a steady dose of encouragement in what can often be a discouraging world. The stress of daily living definitely takes its toll on people and can bring them down.

Acts 4:36 tell us about an early disciple of Christ by the name of Joseph, whom the apostles affectionately called Barnabas, meaning “son of encouragement.” He was a constant source of encouragement to the apostle Paul during his difficult ministry among the Gentiles. We need more Barnabases today!

So, here’s a simple idea. Why not send an encouraging text, email, or Facebook message to someone today. You could include an uplifting scripture or even a prayer for them. This is just one more way to show Christ’s heart and be His hands.
