Feeling Discouraged?

In a slump?

Feeling discouraged?

It happens.

Sometimes we just need a hug, pat on the back or words of encouragement.

Meet Barnabas.

“Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of Encouragement) (Acts 4:36 NASB).”

Barnabas encouraged Apostle Paul, John Mark (and I’d guess countless others in their ministries). All followers of Christ need encouragement.

Here’s a spiritual hug from Apostle Paul…

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58 NASB).”

We live in troubled times. Paul’s words of encouragement still speak to us today.

“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NASB).”
