Everyone can be an encourager, and that includes you! All you have to do is put to use those abilities you already have. You probably know about the biblical character Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement, but did you know that his given name was Joses (Acts 4:36-37)? Barnabas was a name the apostles gave him because of the great encouragement he provided to others. You, too, can become a Barnabas. All you have to do is practice being an encourager. You will be absolutely astounded at what it will do for other people – most of all what it will do for you. Great for personal reading or classroom use.
