The Joy of Encouragement Quotes

“Some of my friends tell me that caring for their aging parents sometimes brings this struggle to the surface. And if we are not careful, those of us who serve others in the ministry can fall into the habit of “professional” encouragement—helping people solely out of a sense of obligation. Let us learn well the lesson of Barnabas and Ananias. True encouragers do not pretend, they perform.”

“Should it be ours to drain the cup of grieving, even to the dregs of pain, at thy command, we will not falter, thankfully receiving all that is given by thy loving hand. While all the powers of Good aid and attend us, boldly we’ll face the future, be what it may. At even, and at morn, God will befriend us, and oh, most surely on each new year’s day!6”
