When others are struggling, be careful that you are not only pointing out what they are doing wrong; make sure you are encouraging them to stay in the game. To encourage means to “come along side of.” If you are going to encourage others, you need to come along side of them and help them. An important part of encouraging another person is the willingness to step in and walk beside them. People will receive your advice better if they know you are in or willing to get into the trenches with them. If you are going to encourage others, you MUST maintain a positive attitude. You can encourage someone while pushing them past what they think they can do, they have to see that you have a positive attitude. People will achieve great heights if they know you believe in them.
You need to encourage them that God is still in the mix. They need to know that God has a plan. But realize It is a difficult thing for them to see, when they are in the midst of their struggles.
You should always be trying to help make others have a stronger faith. You need to make sure you are investing yourself in other people in order to help them.
Hebrews 10:24-25 “You must encourage each other to show love and to do good things. You should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some have. Instead, you must continue to encourage each other even more as you see the day of the Lord coming”. Help give one another a push when they need it! A little encouragement will go a long way! You are called to be a blessing to others.
