The Blessing of Encouraging One Another!

If you are struggling with something difficult in your life right now, the weight of the world may feel like it’s all on your shoulders. But despite that, I encourage you to consider spreading encouragement to whoever you can (this might sound counterproductive to you), but you never know whose day you might change with your words or actions! It seems that when we do good unto others, it gets us out of our pity party, and blessings can begin to flow. You may think it is counterproductive or senseless, but take my Word for it, and give it a try; you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain!

Take a moment to think about those who have encouraged you in the past, and be grateful to God for putting them in your life. Now, in turn, turn it around: think about who YOU can encourage, and give it a try. You will begin to see that the lives of those you help will brighten, and your own will improve because of your help to others! I have found that to be true in my life, and it will be true in yours, too! It helped me get out of a depression I went through many years ago.

Jesus Told His Followers, “In This World, You Will Have Troubles.”

But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33b). Jesus did not shelter His followers from the troubles they would face. He told them the world would hate them (John 15:18-21; see Matthew 10:22-23 and 2 Corinthians 2:15-16). But Jesus’ depressing forecast was tempered with cheer; He followed His prediction of trouble with a beautiful word of encouragement: “He has overcome the world.” Jesus is more significant than any problem we have ever faced.

What Happens Without Encouragement?

Problems and trials become meaningless, and our will to go on becomes weaker.

The prophet Elijah wrestled with discouragement (1 Kings 19:3-10), and so do we. It is important to remember that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). This truth makes encouragement all the more valuable. It is not just that we face the world’s displeasure; we are caught in a spiritual battle. When we are encouraged by Jesus Christ, we have the strength to put on our spiritual armor to protect and remain steadfast (see Ephesians 6:10-18).
