How To Encourage!
"Therefore encourage one another
and build each other up, just as
in fact you are doing."
1 Thessalonians 5: 11
Kanchi showed definite signs of depression
because her male partner died. She stopped
eating, her weight fell, and then she stopped
communicating. She wasn’t just any widow.
She was
a rhinoceros at a Bangladesh zoo.
Animal workers introduced a sheep into the
enclosure and the two became close friends.
A picture of them appeared in newspapers
with the sheep rubbing herself against her
giant companion’s belly.
Even animals need fellowship,
companionship, and encouragement.
The Bible compares us to sheep, and we can
be good companions for others in our life. We
must remember to encourage someone every
day. We must complain less and comfort more.
One of the blessings God gives us during trials
is support and encouragement of other
believers.
Thank God for people He brings alongside you
during trials. Ask Him to show you how
you can
best encourage others who are walking through
troubled times.
Somebody needs your encouragement.
Somebody is glad that you are their
friend. Somebody needs your support.
