Encourage TODAY, EVERYDAY The power of encouragement part 1 (Afterthoughts hearing Brian Houston's sermon) Encouragement is very important. We shouldn't just offer it occasionally when there's an occasion, but DAILY. That's what Pst Brian preached about in the podcast sermon I caught. And it's very true that humans thrive on encouragement. We succeed today because somebody believed that we could. Encouragement is different from flattering....flattering is simply empty words given out for a selfish purpose. But encouragement is to build the OTHER up, and not for yourself. Pastor Brian was very funny when he talked about "Fishing for an encouragement". Haha. I'm sure it was his personal experience and it is so true how we pathetically fish for encouragement in an environment that doesn't have this culture! Let's be generous with our words AND action of encouragement...it is really pathetic if we all have to resort to fishing for them! Labels: daily rantings 2:48 PM
