It came back to mind recently as I spent time with a person who has years of depositing his life into others and encouragement and when he passes I am sure many will tell stories of how he encouraged them, which brought me to a new question , how many can say, what they did to encourage him? I am afraid in some cases their own silence will answer against them!- THINK ON THIS!

"Daddy, who encourages the encourager?"- By God's grace may it be you and me who recognize encouragers and take time, thought, to encourage them to keep encouraging, by words and deeds of encouragement.....lest the silence testify against us! ANY ENCOURAGER YOU KNOW OR HAVE RECEIVED FROM SOMOEONE who always seems to be encouraging, that you can encourage?

I think one mistake, oversight we make is to believe those who encourage do not need to be encouraged.

 

Yet, Heb 3:13- says, "Day after day as long as it is called TODAY, Encourage one another." This verse says it all. We are all responsible to encourage, not just the one we recognize as the "encourager."
