“Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will…. Come and save you.” Encouragement can be a gift from God but it is something that is freely given to us all. A simple word, a smile standing by someone side. Encouragement is strong and powerful. We need to always want to uplifting not because we are told to be but because we want to be.
