Sometimes the most significant thing we can do for the Kingdom of God is simply to encourage others. Only God knows how far-reaching our investment in their lives may be. When Barnabas took time to encourage Paul, I doubt he ever imagined that his kindness would affect believers for twenty-one centuries and beyond, but it did. Never make the mistake of belittling the eternal value of the encouragement and kindness you invest in another.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

— Proverbs 27:17

Lord Jesus, thank You for those You have used to encourage me in my hour of weakness. Make me an encourager. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
