Encourage

We should never be surprised when we find ourselves discouraged or even despondent. After all, we live in terrible times. Yet God offers hope in the midst of our trials. Jesus said, Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. We can find life from God even in our darkest times. We can also create an environment of life and encouragement in the church, where we have a genuine interest in one another, a shared hope, and a sense of fellowship and brotherhood.

Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin s deceitfulness. NIV
