Let’s start a revolution of encouragement

I feel so strongly that we, the body of Christ, need to be encouraging one another more.  The other day I met with a friend who just started calling out what she saw in me and you know what? It blessed and encouraged me so much.  It made me want to be even more like Jesus.

Sometimes I think we have a twisted idea that if we encourage someone too much or they hear too many good things about themselves that they will become prideful.  But I think we need to leave the convicting of righteousness to the Holy Spirit and obey our call to encourage one another.

So let’s start a revolution of calling out what we see in others.  Let’s bless each other and build one another up.  Can we come together and speak words of life over each other?

Every Thursday I will begin to write an “I see Jesus in you” post.  Can we make Thursdays our day to bless someone in our lives with encouragement? Would you write a letter, send an email, or make a phone call to someone in your life that God leads you to love on with words?  Jesus is the Word and when He spoke things were created from nothing. He says that our words have life or death power.  Let’s use our words to call out what we see in others and to create life.

If you blog and and want to use it to encourage someone I will create a link up on Thursdays for you to add your post.

Will you join me? Let’s start a revolution of encouragement!
