The word for 2024, Encourage!
Words are powerful. We have all, no doubt, been wounded at some point by careless, unkind, or mean statements. Their effect on our lives, even years later, is undeniable. No matter how much we deny it, it still makes us cringe to remember the taunts of the second-grade bully on the playground and makes us want to crawl under a rock to think of that rumor spreading through the high school hallways. |
1 Thessalonians 5:11 NLT says, “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” Mark Twain once said, "I can live two months on one good compliment."

I just love when others encourage me. Isn’t it great to be around someone whose words are encouraging and edifying? Someone who makes you feel good because of their words that build you up and bring you grace just when you need it?
One of the most attractive and healing personalities in the world is an individual who can spread grace, and blessing, and build up others with encouraging words. You see, anybody can tear down with destructive words, but God’s people should build up!
