My pastor’s wife shared from her heart in class, and that is what has encouraged me to share from my heart. If she hadn’t shared her personal testimony, I would never have had the courage to share mine. There are many people who need you to share what you have been through so that they may also feel the Love of Jesus.
If you will notice the verse says to encourage and strengthen him, it does not say strengthen and encourage him. We must encourage people so that they will be strengthened in their trust for Jesus.
Have you encouraged anyone today? Have you told anyone that Jesus Loves him or her? Have you hugged anyone today for Jesus?
