Encouragement- Adrian Rogers has a few I like.

“Be humbly grateful not grumbly hateful.”

“Failure is not final.”

“Doubt is to my spirit what pain is to my body.”

“Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light.”

We all need encouragement from time to time.

Maybe sickness has been in your family for a long time.

Maybe financial difficulty has engulfed your situation

As a teen you’ve been bullied ever single day for quite some time and you are just looking for a kind word.

We all need a spoken word of encouragement every once in a while.

What I’m not talking about is just empathy, but encouragement that has actions to help in word and indeed.

God is always our source of encouragement. Paul calls Him in

2 Corinthians 1:3 “The Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”

verse 4 goes on and says “who comforteth us in all our tribulations,

and why?

verse 4 goes on to say “that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”
