The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Encourage Others" Bible Reading: Hebrews 12:1-3 for Saturday, 28 January 2017Hebrews 12:1 So then, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us, too, put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which easily hampers our forward movement — and keep running with endurance in the contest set before us, 2 looking away to the Initiator and Completer of that trusting,[Hebrews 12:2 Habakkuk 2:4] Yeshua — who, in exchange for obtaining the joy set before him, endured execution on a stake as a criminal, scorning the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.[Hebrews 12:2 Psalm 110:1] 3 Yes, think about him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you won’t grow tired or become despondent.

One of the kindest things we can do for other people is to encourage them. When we encourage our family members and friends, they feel more confident to face whatever happens throughout the day.
In a marriage it is important for a husband and wife to encourage each other. They can do this by doing things around their house or by sharing kind words with each other. Parents should also encourage their children by being loving and patient with them.
But the greatest way you can encourage another person is to remind them about what Jesus did. Verse 2a of our Bible Reading says, "We must never stop looking to Jesus. He is the leader of our faith, and he is the one who makes our faith complete."
Encourage other people today. Share God's love and kindness with them![Barbara Rusiecki]
"Think about Jesus. He patiently endured the angry insults that sinful people were shouting at him. Think about him so that you won't get discouraged and stop trying."[Hebrews 12:3]
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to show kindness and love to others today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
