Philippians 2: 1-2 1. If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 
   2. then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

"Let's take the encouragement Jesus himself gives us through our relationship with Him and through his Holy Word and pass it on to others so others too may experience the peace joy and love that encouragement can bring. 

Encouragement is at the root of our well being, self worth and self- esteem. One simple word of encouragement or praise can trigger within us an overwhelming good feeling of self worth. This in turn spurs us on to be extended beyond ourselves in many ways such as improving our skills, job performance and work and family relationships. It also helps us to ease the burden of emotional and mental difficulties. The spin offs of one word of encouragement are positive and send positive messages to parts of our heart soul and mind to build up our self worth and self esteem. 
   Many people have spent most of their lives without a word of encouragement or praise. They have been objects of daily put downs and ridicule resulting in an insecurity, low self esteem and low self worth. 
    The good news is in Jesus Christ. My friend Jesus, a friend beyond all earthly friends. He gives us a relationship where never is heard a discouraging word. If you have never heard an encouraging word then come to Jesus. Simply ask Him, "Jesus, Iam here, please forgive me for my sins and please help me to know you better and begin to receive your love". He, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Prince of Peace will not let you down. 
   Jesus will lead you by the hand through the many truths of His Word, the holy bible, where many examples of encouragement are found. The following places in His Holy Word are but a few sources of encouragment: Isaiah 1:17, Thessalonians 5:11, Psalms 10:17, Romans 12:8, Hebrews 3:13, 2 Timothy 4:2, Deuteronomy 3:28, Hebrews 10:25, 1Thessalonians 5:14, Titus 1:9, Acts 15:3.
