That verse comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:11. As Christians, we are called to be a source of encouragement for each other. "Encourage one another...build each other up." These words make me think, "How much encouraging and building up do I do?""Therefore encourage one another and build each other up..."
You know, for me anyway, it's a whole lot easier to use words of discouragement and tear others down. So, today, I'm challenging myself to be a source of encouragement for those around me.
And, that could be hard! Because sometimes I find myself around people that I find it much easier to tear down...Maybe you all can join me in working hard to encourage and build up those around you.

Jason,
You have always been very encouraging to me. Thanks for modeling that to me and reminding me of that verse. Tearing people down is a trap.
