Problem
"So comfort each other and make each other strong as you are already doing" - 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLV)
We are to lift and encourage others. Sometimes busyness and past hurts can keep a person from being present with others. When we are not present, we will miss opportunities to encourage others. Even when people need encouragement for themselves, we are to give it away. Encouragement is transformative. As we encourage others, we will receive encouragement through our actions. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 (NLV) states, "Because of this, comfort each other with these words." By encouraging our family members, we express how we value them as part of our lives.
