Encouragement

¹¹ Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as indeed you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (LEB)

I find that when I start encouraging others a weight is lifted off of me.  There is a this type of fog that is swept away from any interaction or relationship when encouragement is given.  By encouragement I don't mean sweet words that diffuse a tense situation.  Nor do I call encouragement words you say with motives tucked behind them so you can manipulate or maneuver people into doing your will and wishes. 

en·cour·age·ment:  the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.

So please encourage one another today with words that build up instead of destroy.  As the Holy Spirit is building something eternal in each of us.  Let us contribute to that building in ourselves and others with word of faith, hope, confidence and support.

Now for some context...

The passage here is wrapped up with a prophetic end of time message.

Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you, ² for you yourselves well know that the day of the Lord is coming in the same way as a thief in the night. ³ Whenever they say “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction will overtake them like the birth pains of a pregnant woman^[a], and they will not possibly escape. ⁴ But you, brothers, are not in the darkness, so that the day should catch you like a thief, ⁵ for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. ⁶ So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. ⁸ But because^[b] we are of the day, we must be sober, by^[c] putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation, ⁹ because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.   - 1 Thessalonians 5:11  (LEB)

 This passage is for the believer and specifically the believer that is encouraged by this type of conversation.  So when you're down and feeling discouraged, take heart he is coming soon.  When you're feeling awesome and blessed, take heart and share your joy with others through uplifting words.

Love all, Worship One.
