FEEL THE AWESOMENESS!
“But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” Hebrews 3:13
Sports can provide an incredible opportunity for life and character growth if through our experience in sports we become more courageous, more fearless, in a word; stronger. Life is fraught with fearful challenges. It’s a tendency for us all to respond to these challenges with defensive insecurity and thus over time become hardened and weakened on a heart level. Courage is the healthy response to fear. Courage keeps our spiritual hearts growing stronger and healthier. Courage empowers us to take the right steps forward. Where do we find courage? One powerful way is from mutual encouragement. Here are five practical ways we can encourage one another today:
- Encouraging words spoken and written
- Helpful empathy
- A listening ear
- An example of courage
- Friendship
The great thing about encouragement is that as we encourage the hearts of others, our own hearts are strengthened! Let’s encourage one another today in our various sports arenas and thus feel the awesomeness!
