You encourage God when you find others to give your God-Given glory to.
The thought behind the quote
Mark Twain said, 'The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer others up.' We encourage ourselves when we encourage others.
My 1828 Webster's Dictionary defines encouragement as: 'to give or increase confidence of success; to inspire with spirit of strength of mind.'
When you encourage others, you incite people to action and hope. Jesus has given each person His glory for the purpose of giving it to others. (John 17:22)
The best part of every person is the God part of us, which is the glory of God in us. When you encourage others, you are giving the best part of you, which is God in you, to others. Find someone to encourage today.
