We should be lifting others up and not tearing them down. This blog post contains 25 words of encouragement. We need to be like Barnabas in the Bible. His name means Son of Encouragement.

In Bible times people were given names based on their traits and that name meant he was an encourager. I have been told by many people that I often help encourage them. Most of the time, I don’t realize I am doing that.
