Stronger Together: The Power of Inspiration

Left to ourselves, we would settle for far less than we are capable of achieving. That’s why we all need encouragement. Encouragement helps us; stretches us; motivates us. Simply put, encouragement is the ability to inspire others to fulfill their God-given potential.

While there are those who are especially gifted in the area of encouragement, and blessed is the family and the church who possess such gifted ones, all followers of Christ are empowered and expected to encourage one another.

Are you in need of encouragement today? You’ll find it as you connect with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes they can see in you what your insecurities conceal from yourself. Sometimes they can say just what your heart needs to hear.

And you know one of the best ways to be encouraged? It is to encourage someone else. That very act of thoughtfulness to boost others to fulfill their potential can often be the breakthrough you need to receive the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
