See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:12-13
Encouragement is vital to the human soul. As Christians, we are commanded to encourage one another (Heb 3:13). That can take the form of telling others what you appreciate about them, sending random cards through the mail, or speaking a kind word about a friend's child. But note that in this passage, encouragement is defined in comparison to making sure no one has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from God. In other words, encouragement is daily engaging others in ways that help them grow in their relationship with the Lord.
Seek opportunities today to encourage your husband, children and friends to grow deeper in their relationship with the Lord!
