Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:11

• Who can you encourage today?

When was the last time I spoke life into a friend? I realize each day how easy it is to roast a friend of mine. They can tell me some news or show me something, and I can immediately think of something to say that will make a joke about what they are showing me. I can send them memes on Instagram very easily or try my best to make them laugh, but when it comes to speaking life, that feels somewhat awkward. What would our relationships look like if we encouraged each other at the same pace that we send each other funny posts on Instagram? God gave us all voices that matter so that we can remind others how much they matter. Start with your friends, start with the people you have conversations with the most. Encourage them, and let them encourage you in return.
