“When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.”
Romans 1:12
When I look at encouragement in the form of faith it takes on a new perspective. It is no longer the pat on the back of a job well done or a note/card given in response for a good deed, but something lived out and carried forth by example sharing with others.
In Chapter 1 in the book of Romans, we find Paul’s letter to the Romans sharing the Good News of Christ and expressing his wish to visit them to give them a spiritual gift that would help them grow strong in the Lord. (Rom 1:11) We then see Paul write, “When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.”
