What Does Encouragement Look Like?
Living a life of encouragement means intentionally helping yourself and others find courage, hope, truth, and strength—especially when you or they are struggling. Be aware that when we encourage others, we, too, become encouraged.
-
BEGIN EACH DAY WITH GOD. Ask God to help you notice people who need practical help. Also ask God what His will for your day is. Don’t start your day without praying.
- RECEIVE ENCOURAGEMENT YOURSELF. Maintain relationships with people who strengthen your faith and speak truth into your life; at the same time, be ready to encourage others.
- LISTEN BEFORE SPEAKING. Give people your full attention, not partial attention, and hesitate to offer advice right away.
- USE WORDS THAT BUILD OTHERS UP. Speak truthfully, kindly, and constructively, not by gossiping, insulting, or humiliating.
- ENCOURAGE OTHERS THROUGH ACTIONS. Make a call, send a note, provide a meal, offer transportation, help with a task, or pray with someone.
- TELL THE TRUTH WITH LOVE. Encouragement is not flattery or agreement with everything. Loving correction should restore, not shame or discourage.
- BE GENEROUS WITH GRACE. Remember that everyone makes mistakes, and some may carry burdens you cannot see.
- POINT PEOPLE TOWARD LASTING HOPE. When appropriate, remind them that God’s character, promises, forgiveness, and love are all very powerful and trustworthy.
- MAKE ENCOURAGEMENT A DAILY HABIT. Intentionally encourage at least one person every day, including yourself. Thessalonians 5:11.
