"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."  
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 


Someone has well said that discouragement is a darkroom where the negatives of fear and failure are developed.  Some people are encouragers and others are discouragers.  Have you ever met a discourager?  They're like a drink of water to a drowning man.  They can brighten up any room by leaving it.  They leave you drained and depressed.  But an encourager leaves you full and refreshed.  God has cornered the market on encouragement.  All encouragement comes from God.  You're never more like God than when you're encouraging people and never more like the devil than when you are discouraging people.  Find a needy person and enrich him; a lonely person and include him; a misunderstood person and affirm him; an undiscovered person and develop him; a failing person and restore him.  God will bless you for it.  Go to church this Sunday and be an encouragement to someone there.  Yes, there are people at church that needs to be encouraged.
