Blessed are the Encouragers!

The Lord tells us to encourage one another. That shouldn’t be a difficult task since the Lord does so much to encourage us through His word. William Barclay said, “One of the highest of human duties is the duty of encouragement… It is easy to laugh at men’s ideals; it is easy to pour cold water on enthusiasm; it is easy to discourage others. The world is full of discouragers. We have a Christian duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.”
