Romans 14:19 "So let us try to do what makes peace and helps one another" Life is a team sport, and all of us need the occasional pat on the back from our teammates. Especially when we are down. In Ephesians Paul tells us to "no let any unwholesome talk come out of our mouths, but only what is helpful to building others up according to their needs that it may benefit those who listen". Paul reminds us that when we choose our words wisely, we can have a powerful impact on those around us. Since we don't always know who needs our encouragement, the best strategy is to offer encouragement to all those who cross our path. Never has the need been greater!
