The New Testament doesn’t treat encouragement as optional.
It’s something God’s people are called to practice.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Encouragement in the Bible is more than kind words.
It strengthens someone else’s faith when they feel weak.
It reminds them of what is true when they’ve forgotten.
It helps them keep going when things feel heavy.
It’s not about being naturally “good with words”.
It’s about choosing to say something that genuinely builds someone else up.
A simple challenge for this week:
Speak one specific word of encouragement to someone this week. Something intentional and personal.
